Spirent Communications has created the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) workload traffic emulation solution to generate highly realistic AI traffic patterns at scale using RoCEv2 transport and with integrated collective communications library (CCL) support. With the company’s solution, infrastructure providers and network vendors can rapidly validate the readiness of new ethernet infrastructures and equipment for next-gen AI applications.
The rapidly evolving growth of AI and its high volumes of traffic and intensive processing requirements are pushing current data centre networks to the limit. Hyperscalers and large enterprise customers are scrambling to add servers and tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) and other hardware accelerators (xPUs) to scale up AI computing clusters.
Spirent AI traffic emulator is the first in the industry to offer:
- Realistic emulation over fully implemented RoCEv2 transport and CCL with actionable key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Repeatable testing for quick and easy test configuration and execution to diagnose performance and efficiency issues in minutes, instead of weeks.
- A solution ready to deploy in existing labs for a fraction of the cost of custom xPU based server farms and with significant energy savings.
