Abstract
A network interface controller of a machine receives a packet including at least one model parameter of a neural network model from a server. The packet includes a virtual address associated with the network interface controller, and the machine further includes a plurality of graphics processing units coupled to the network interface controller by a bus. The network interface controller translates the virtual address to a memory address associated with each of the plurality of graphics processing units. The network interface controller broadcasts the at least one model parameter to the memory address associated with each of the plurality of graphics processing units.
