[SPONSORED GUEST ARTICLE] Whereas the compute energy of GPUs has grown considerably…, networking infrastructure has not stored up on the identical charge. Despite the fact that bandwidth now doubles each two years, presently reaching 400 gigabits per second and projected to hit 1600 gigabits per second within the close to future, it stays inadequate to fulfill the rising calls for of contemporary compute environments. This hole between compute energy and networking capabilities presents an pressing problem.
To deal with this imbalance (between community bandwidth and the calls for of contemporary computing environments), it’s important to speed up networking developments… Closing this hole is important for sustaining the progress of AI and different high-demand applied sciences. This paper explores the present state of networking and the mandatory improvements to make sure it evolves in tandem with compute energy, assembly the wants of the long run.
