GigaIO's Interconnect Technology Boosts AI Performance

GigaIO has unveiled new benchmarks showing its AI fabric technology delivers 2x faster training and 83.5x lower latency compared to traditional Ethernet solutions, according to Business Wire.

GigaIO has announced significant advancements in AI performance through its power-efficient interconnect technology, as reported by Business Wire. The company's AI fabric has demonstrated 2x faster training and fine-tuning, along with an 83.5x reduction in latency for inferencing tasks, compared to RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE).

The benchmarks reveal that GigaIO's AI fabric not only enhances performance but also reduces power consumption by 35-40%, making it a cost-effective alternative for AI infrastructure. The technology simplifies system setup by eliminating protocol overhead and complex RDMA tuning, allowing for seamless GPU discovery and minimal configuration.

In testing, GigaIO's AI fabric achieved 104% higher throughput in distributed training scenarios and significantly improved responsiveness for interactive AI applications. This performance was achieved using the same GPUs, servers, and software, with only the interconnects varied to highlight the impact of GigaIO's technology.

The PCIe-native design of GigaIO's AI fabric enables organizations to achieve target performance with fewer GPUs and lower power consumption, eliminating the need for additional networking hardware. This makes it a compelling choice for organizations looking to optimize AI infrastructure costs and performance.
