WekaIO Announces Marked Results with NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage in Microsoft Research Lab
WekaIO (Weka), the fastest-growing data platform for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), life sciences research, enterprise technical computing, and high-performance data analytics (HPDA), announced today results of testing conducted with Microsoft, which showed that the Weka File System ( WekaFS ) produced among the greatest aggregate NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage throughput numbers of all storage systems tested to date.
- WekaIO (Weka), the fastest-growing data platform for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), life sciences research, enterprise technical computing, and high-performance data analytics (HPDA), announced today results of testing conducted with Microsoft, which showed that the Weka File System ( WekaFS ) produced among the greatest aggregate NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage throughput numbers of all storage systems tested to date.
- The tests were conducted at Microsoft Research using a single NVIDIA DGX-2 server* connected to a WekaFS cluster over an NVIDIA Mellanox InfiniBand switch.
- The Microsoft Research engineers, in collaboration with WekaIO and NVIDIA specialists, were able to achieve one of the highest levels of throughput in systems tested to the 16 NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPUs using GDS.
- By combining WekaFS and NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage (GDS), customers can accelerate AI/ML initiatives to dramatically accelerate their time-to-value and time-to-market.
