Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting the design of data centers. AI algorithms – particularly those involved in deep learning and neural network training – require significant computational resources to process massive amounts of data via e.g. matrix multiplications and nonlinear transformations.
Running large AI applications requires interconnecting thousands – or even tens of thousands – of AI accelerators which are specialized computing semiconductors optimized for the types of matrix operations essential in AI learning and processing tasks where low latency and congestion control are essential.
This White Paper explains how to test these AI-optimized switches using Z800 Freya Ethernet traffic generators and SierraNet protocol analyzers.
