![]() The reason for discussing PVRDMA and Bitfusion together is that Bitfusion connects clients and servers together over the network and PVRDMA is the VMware virtual implementation of efficient RDMA networks. The objective of this blog is to explain how to set up a PVRDMA network (the particulars are sometimes difficult to find), and then using it with Bitfusion nodes.īitfusion is a software product that allows AI/ML applications to run on client machines or containers ( including containers in TKG or K8S), but to access GPU acceleration from remote servers. Bitfusion clients intercept an application's CUDA calls and send them to Bitfusion servers that have physical GPUs. On the other hand, growing, gathering, and pressing sesame seeds to produce the oil for the same amount of light in 1750 BC only took 41.5 hours (Welcome to the future, Mesopotamia! The fertile crescent shines like a full moon.) It took about 58 hours of labor (with a stone axe, presumably) to produce the wood for 1 hour of 1000 lumen light. Let wood fires or a Babylonian sesame oil lamp be our metaphor for the pre-ROCE baseline. Introduction - I hold with those who favor fire So adjust the brightness of your screen and read on. ![]() For reference, a wax candle emits about 13 lumens and 100-watt incandescent bulb about 1200. Nordhaus calculated the price in hours of labor to produce 1000 lumens of light for one hour. As we advance through the steps, we will also look back at a few of his labor-for-lumens results. More specifically, we will explain how to use this modern network protocol between Bitfusion nodes.īut neither will we forget Nordhaus. The awesomeness we want to talk about in this blog, however, is RoCE ( RDMA over Converged Ethernet). The world is getting better! Just read Steven Pinker's "Enlightenment Now", eschew the newspapers and television, and you will become optimistic. But the very best "Everything is Awesome" metric is the 1992 William Nordhaus paper working out the proper economics for how technology improves (lowers!) prices. He detailed how modern lighting (1992 CFL bulbs) had become 500,000 times cheaper than the campfires cavemen sat around in antiquity. ![]()
