Is it GBps (gigabytes per second) or Gbps (giga bits per second)? I see mixed usage in this comment thread so I’m left wondering what it actually is. The article is consistent and uses Gigabytes.

We do have a model. That’s statistical physics. Any standard course goes over various derivations of classical physics laws (Newtonian dynamics) from quantum mechanics.

Yep, such ideas have been around. But congestion is a fundamental problem. Admission control is the only way to ensure there is no congestion collapse. The technical issue is that you would need global arbitration to ensure that the _good

In principle, with perfect knowledge of flows at any given instant, you can assign credits/rate-of-transmission for each flow to prevent congestion. But, in practice this is somewhat nuanced to build, and there are various tradeoffs t

OP is referring to "Credit based flow control", which is a way to ensure a sender does not overwhelm a receiver with more data than it can handle. Usually, this is line-rate, but if the other side is slow for whatever reason (say

It's also a bit odd that they do not implement congestion control. Congestion control is fundamental unless you only have point-to-point data transfers, which is rarely the case. All-reduce operation during training requires N to 1 d

I suspect that the web server's CPU usage will be pretty high (almost 100%), so C-state tuning may not matter as much? EDIT: also, RSS happens on the NIC. RFS happens in the kernel, so it might not be as effective. For a uniform requ

They key takeaway really is that for high performance, the way you think about memory layout, data structures, memory management, etc. all start to really matter. It is possible to write programs with memory pools to reuse data structures

I guess the main issue with BeyondCorp-style architecture is that while they work well with apps that mainly use HTTP, but it can be a pain to get them working for plain TCP or UDP-based apps.
