We share our hands-on experience optimizing an AI cluster built on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, and how we first validated the optimal host configuration. Explore how we tuned network parameters to ensure that the entire system runs smoothly and delivers industry-leading results.

This white paper showcases DriveNets’ hands-on methodology for optimizing an AI cluster built on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. This includes: host configuration, GPU firmware, BIOS settings, operating system parameters, drivers, network behavior, congestion control, switch settings, and workload benchmarking.

  • The methodology is reflected in the DriveNets verified Reference Architecture with AMD, designed to help customers move from GPU deployment to production-grade AI infrastructure​
  • Following this E2E approach, DriveNets is able to improve inference performance across single-node and multi-node environments​
  • Demonstrated higher throughput per GPU, faster time to first token, and strong interactivity underload
