Scanning the horizon for the peak of AI 表演

比尔Bollengier | 2023年10月

What happens when Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts combine innovative software-defined storage (SDS) with high 表演 NVMe 固态硬盘s? 好东西. 快速和可扩展的东西.

这个博客关注的是 扫描电脑国际有限公司 (扫描) 峰:AIO, 美光科技. These three companies designed and delivered a performant, 简单的, approachable architecture that delivers the massive 表演 and capacity that many AI workloads demand (and the solution had to be within financial reach of mid-size customers).

欧洲以外的一些人可能不知道Scan. Scan is a specialist tech partner - delivering client hardware, 基础设施解决方案, cloud computing and services - all with an obsessive focus on detail. 他们深, 我们的内部专业知识涵盖PC游戏领域, 专业的图形, 视频编辑, 音乐制作, 高性能计算, 以及人工智能平台的设计.

它始于一个挑战

Scan’s proven expertise with AI system design told them there was simply no way that traditional enterprise storage could meet the storage demands from the coming generation of GPU-based systems. Existing storage hardware and software does not offer the throughput or the scalability that ever-growing, 复杂的数据集和人工智能模型. Scan also knew their customers place a high value on RAID-protected data.

这些要求导致Scan走向峰:AIO

峰:AIO is a software-defined storage (SDS) platform designed from the ground up to meet the specific needs of AI workloads. It is deployed on standard x86 server technology to create an AI data server that delivers the ultra-low latency and incredible bandwidth needed to optimize GPU utilization.

Scan was confident that the 峰:AIO SDS platform would be a key ingredient to building mid-scale GPU clusters with RAID-protected data. Scan was also confident that using 峰:AIO and 固态硬盘s could deliver better throughput compared to legacy, HDD storage that used legacy data protection (like Linux MD RAID). 最后, experience told Scan that any traditional storage architecture would be too slow, 太复杂, 太贵了, 或者三者都有, so they selected the 峰:AIO SDS platform and high-表演 NVMe 固态硬盘s to deliver the 表演, 可管理性, 扩展, data protection needed – all at the right economics.

微米 9400 NVMe ssd完成整个系统

微米’s track record as a market leader in 固态硬盘s led Scan and 峰:AIO to collaborate with 微米 in a proof-of-concept 表演 test. In this test Scan scaled the number of 固态硬盘s to validate system 扩展 while increasing storage capacity to house growing datasets and feed modern GPUs.

扫描选中的 美光9400固态硬盘 because 微米 designed it specifically for throughput-critical workloads such as 人工智能的培训. The 美光9400固态硬盘 is available in capacities up to 30 TB1 with sequential read throughput of 7GB/s and random 4KB read 表演 up to 1.6米IOPS.1

一个非常成功的组合

By adding up to 24 of the 30TB 美光9400固态硬盘s in the compact, 2U存储系统, Scan easily exceeded its initial throughput goal of 150GB/s. In fact, testing showed that the configuration could achieve over 170GB/s.

This combination also 清晰的ly demonstrated the capacity and 表演 扩展 that Scan’s customers need. As more 美光9400固态硬盘s were added to the system with 峰:AIO SDS (shown in light gray), 表演 scaled when compared to systems using legacy Linux MD RAID (shown in black) as illustrated below.

结论

The combination of 峰:AIO 和微米 technologies yielded fantastic results, 特别是快速和可扩展的东西，比如:

  • 高达650TB的raid保护存储
  • 吞吐量超过170GB/s
  • Performance 扩展 linearly with additional drives

通过Scan的合作, 峰:AIO, 和微米, 客户获得卓越的人工智能工作负载能力, 表演, scalability – marking a significant milestone in the journey toward putting AI benefits within the reach of businesses everywhere and moving affordable AI data 表演 from the horizon to the data center.
