DPUs facilitate improved network traffic management, bolster security measures, and enhance storage processing. This heightened efficiency leads to accelerated data processing, diminished system bottlenecks, and an overall boost in systemwide performance.
The devices are essentially designed to ensure AI workloads in data centres powered by vast arrays of GPUs operate at peak efficiency. The hardware can effectively manage network congestion to avoid performance degradation by re-routing workloads to avoid network failures and quickly recover from occasional packet loss.
