AI factories are some of the most complex operations in the world, combining GPUs, CPUs, switches, DPUs, and SuperNICs alongside schedulers, orchestration services, security controls, and a rapidly changing software stack. Deploying this infrastructure effectively is a challenge. But so is being able to validate that the infrastructure, software, and policies work together for the workloads the…

Observatories and telescopes, lasers and X-ray light sources, and other high-throughput instruments generate image data faster than CPU-bound pipelines can process it to support timely decisions. The computational bottleneck is rarely one slow kernel. It’s the whole path from data in the sensor to a decision: read the raw data, match point-spread functions or detector responses, subtract or reduce…

A GPU cluster can pass every health check and still fail to run an AI workload. Even when every GPU, network link, and pod reports healthy, a 512-GPU training job can underperform or fail. The cause may be one slow GPU, a link that degrades under load, or a configuration that quietly routes traffic over a slower path. Operators may not discover the problem until hours into the run or until a…

Kubernetes manages what runs on your nodes. Managing the nodes themselves is the challenge: kernel settings, system packages, storage layouts, security agents, and the host-level tuning that GPU workloads depend on. Many teams manage this with Ansible playbooks, custom scripts, and manual runbooks. That works until a new cluster comes up in a different region, a kernel upgrade breaks RDMA…

AI factories are power-limited systems that deliver maximum value when fully optimized. GPU workload placement is a key optimization. Poor workload placement fragments topology domains and forces traffic across shared links, reducing throughput, raising job costs, and leaving GPUs consuming provisioned power while waiting on data without advancing the workload. GPUs exchange data continuously…

Power is a defining constraint for AI factories. As AI workloads demand a full compute platform to serve them, each component of that platform must maximize output within the factory’s limited power budget. This makes performance per watt—rather than raw, unnormalized throughput—the ultimate measure of an AI platform’s value. The NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform is designed to enable power…

When an LLM engine process fails, the standard recovery path involves a cold restart. This requires loading weights into HBM from storage, compiling kernels, and capturing NVIDIA CUDA graphs. For large models, initialization can take several minutes, during which surviving workers must absorb the displaced traffic. Shadow engine recovery, available as a preview feature in NVIDIA Dynamo…

The massive growth of generative AI has fundamentally altered data center design. As distributed model training scales to span hundreds of thousands of GPUs, the scale-out network connecting these nodes has emerged as a first-order performance bottleneck. For decades, traditional off-the-shelf Ethernet has been the undisputed king of enterprise and cloud networking. It is cheap, standardized…

Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimensionality reduction technique widely used for visualization and feature extraction. Applications range across exploratory data analysis, topic modeling, and single-cell analysis. Many of these workflows are iterative and exploratory, requiring UMAP to be run repeatedly as users analyze their data or tune parameters. As datasets grow…

Agentic AI changes the infrastructure pattern for AI factories. One request can trigger many model calls, tool calls, memory lookups, policy checks, storage accesses, and network transfers before a final answer is produced. As more agents run at once and carry context across steps, users, tools, services, and sessions, infrastructure must move, protect, retrieve, and reuse data fast enough to keep…

Power can account for 40% of the operating expenses (OpEx) to run an AI factory. Each watt can be spent on overhead, data ingestion, training, or generating tokens for customers. And most sites are capped at a fixed power level provided by a regional provider. Under these conditions, performance per watt becomes a key efficiency metric that directly translates to token costs.
