Episode 103 - Networking at hyperscale with Pradeep Vincent, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of networking in large-scale AI clusters with Pradeep Vincent from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

It can seem like GPUs get all the headlines when it comes to AI workloads, but there are a lot more challenges when it comes to handling massive training jobs. We talk to Pradeep Vincent, Oracle’s Executive Vice President & Chief Technical Architect of OCI, about the importance of power and the oft-overlooked networking in large-scale AI clusters, particularly as we approach multibuilding scale, and potentially multi-campus.
