Homa: The End of TCP for AI Clusters [video]

Homa proposes a purpose-built networking transport for AI clusters that could outperform TCP on latency, tail performance, and overall efficiency in high-throughput distributed workloads. For CIOs, the strategic takeaway is that AI infrastructure may require rethinking core network assumptions to better utilize expensive GPUs, reduce training and inference bottlenecks, and improve cluster predictability at scale.
