Checkpointing is the unsung hero of AI model training, ensuring resilience, efficiency, and continuity during the most complex workloads. However, the sheer size and frequency of modern AI checkpoints demand storage solutions that can keep up. Our latest report dives into this critical topic, exploring the role of high-capacity SSDs in accelerating model training. Using Solidigm’s 61.44TB D5-P5336 and 7.68TB D7-PS1010 SSDs, we benchmarked checkpoint performance under real-world conditions with the DLIO tool. From managing terabyte-scale checkpoints for LLMs to leveraging GPU Direct Storage for efficient data movement, this study showcases how cutting-edge storage impacts AI. Key findings: ?? Checkpoint speed vs. capacity trade-off:?Gen5 TLC SSDs excel in raw checkpoint speed, while QLC drives dominate in cost-effective capacity for checkpoint retention. ?? Optimized bandwidth:?GPU Direct Storage minimizes bottlenecks, directly accelerating AI workflows. ?? Real-world testing:?Our Dell PowerEdge R760 setup provided insights into checkpoint intervals, recovery, and sustained storage performance. This paper underscores the importance of aligning storage capabilities with AI demands, whether prioritizing the fastest possible checkpoints or maximizing storage density. Dive into the full analysis to see how our benchmarks break down and learn how high-capacity SSDs are shaping AI infrastructure. ???Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gcER_qup Solidigm Dell Technologies #ai #storage #datacenter
