Embodiments described herein provide an apparatus comprising an interconnect switch configured to couple with a plurality of graphics processors via a plurality of point-to-point interconnects and one or more processors including a graphics processor coupled with the interconnect switch via a point-to-point interconnect of the plurality of point-to-point interconnects.

Communication optimizations for distributed machine learning

Embodiments described herein provide a system to configure distributed training of a neural network, the system comprising memory to store a library to facilitate data transmission during distributed training of the neural network; a network interface to enable transmission and receipt of configuration data associated with a set of worker nodes, the worker nodes configured to perform distributed training of the neural network; and a processor to execute instructions provided by the library. The instructions cause the processor to create one or more groups of the worker nodes, the one or more groups of worker nodes to be created based on a communication pattern for messages to be transmitted between the worker nodes during distributed training of the neural network. The processor can transparently adjust communication paths between worker nodes based on the communication pattern.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that detects a runtime call to a communication library, wherein the runtime call identifies a memory buffer, determines that a class of service (CLOS) attribute is associated with the memory buffer, and issues a driver instruction to modify the CLOS attribute in response to the runtime call.
