Homa: The End of TCP for AI Clusters

Original: Homa: The end of TCP for AI clusters [video]

A new look at Homa, a datacenter transport protocol designed to replace TCP in AI clusters. Homa uses controlled scheduling and prioritized packet delivery to cut tail latency and improve throughput compared to TCP, which was not built for the massive, bursty traffic patterns of machine learning workloads. The discussion centers on whether TCP's dominance in datacenters is genuinely ending and how practical adoption of Homa would be.

Why now: AI infrastructure performance is a hot topic, and rethinking the foundational network protocol for training clusters is a provocative claim.
