How to Emulate AI Data Center Workloads

+ AI Data Center Workload Emulation

Optimizing job completion time and reducing AI training time

Optimizing AI data center fabrics requires a consistent and repeatable testing methodology. This process involves deploying high-density network testbeds, configuring traffic generators to simulate AI data transmission patterns, and using performance analyzers to measure key performance indicators (KPIs) such as job completion time, network throughput, and latency. These tools provide network architects with insights into performance bottlenecks and areas for optimization.

The methodology includes setting up the test beds, configuring the traffic generators to emulate realistic AI workloads, and using performance analyzers to collect and analyze data. By reproducing network communication patterns of real-world AI training jobs, network architects can validate that the network fabric can support the demands of AI training, troubleshoot types of collective operations that demonstrate low performance, and drill down to identify bottlenecks.
