They built a network based on Ethernet switches for HPC with GPUs (and not IB as seen in the other video). As well they are heavy in RDMA\/ROCEv2. And seems they have dedicated ports in the network for storage, management, etc. They are very happy with Cumulus\/Linux as NOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>S51339 &#8211; Hit the Ground Running with Data Center Digital Twin Automation:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; Interesting tool NVIDIA air for creating labs. I expected in the demonstration to show off and built a huge network. &#8220;Digital Twin&#8221; looks like the new buzzword in the network automation world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>S51751 &#8211; Powering Telco Cloud Services with Open Accelerated Ethernet:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; This is from COMCAST. And it is very interesting how &#8220;big&#8221; looks like SONIC is becoming. And NVIDIA is the second contributor to SONIC after M$! I need to try SONIC at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>S51204 &#8211; Transforming Clouds to Cloud-Native Supercomputing Best Practices with Microsoft Azure:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; Obviously, building NVIDIA based supercomputers in M$ Azure.
