Accelerate your GPU-powered AI/ML workloads with Alluxio
GPUs are fast, but can your data keep up?
Why Alluxio for GPU acceleration
In the world of AI and machine learning, GPUs are powerhouses – but they're only as fast as the data they can access. Alluxio's Enterprise AI platform bridges the gap between your lightning-fast GPUs and your data, wherever it resides.
Deliver 2-4x model training and model distribution speed compared to commodity storage
Boost GPU utilization to up to *97% by eliminating data stalls. Keep your GPUs continuously fed with data.
Run AI workloads wherever your GPUs are – on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments, ideal for distributed or limited GPU resources
Provide a software-defined solution that accelerates your existing data lake storage without migration
Did you know your GPU is hungry of data? Put your GPUs to the test
According to a report from Wandb, nearly a third of GPUs are under 15% utilization. We put together a simple tutorial to find out your GPU utilization rate in a few clicks.
How it works
Alluxio provides an intelligent caching system that virtualizes across storage in any environment. Alluxio is an on-prem software that can be seamlessly installed in your existing AI and data infrastructure with zero code changes to applications. Sitting in the middle of compute and storage, Alluxio abstracts across storage resources, bringing data closer to compute.
With Alluxio, GPU utilization typically increases from 30-50% to up to 97%.
Modern GPUs demand data input rates of gigabytes to terabytes per second per server to operate at full capacity, far exceeding traditional storage capabilities. This mismatch leads to GPU underutilization, with expensive resources often idle while waiting for data.
Network congestion and varying storage locations further exacerbate these issues, resulting in inconsistent performance and extended processing times for AI/ML workloads.
Alluxio transforms this scenario by adding bandwidth from adding NVMes, delivering the throughput required by demanding AI workloads. With Alluxio, you can achieve up to 7.7GB/sec throughput in Natural Language Processing (BERT) and Biomedical Image Segmentation (3D U-Net) tests, matching GPU processing speeds.
Intelligent caching brings data closer to GPU resources, minimizing latency and network traffic. Alluxio's global data access ensures consistent, high-speed data delivery regardless of underlying storage systems or locations.
