Intel Networking for AI with Naru Sundar

With generative AI and other ML workloads exploding, the design and structure of fabrics interconnecting AI elements becomes an important concern. This talk walks through the current state of the AI networking fabric and discusses challenges and tensions arising from the use of proprietary technologies. We present a view of a more open, standards based approach and some recent trends that leads us towards that including developments in the network protocol stack for reliable transport form Intel as well as the Ultra Ethernet consortium’s reliable transport initiative.
