Homa claims TCP is ending for AI clusters

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

Homa, a transport protocol designed for data centers, is being presented as a replacement for TCP in AI training clusters. The argument is that TCP's limitations on latency and congestion control make it poorly suited to the traffic patterns of large-scale machine learning workloads, and that purpose-built protocols can deliver better performance for GPU clusters.

Why now: Debate over network infrastructure for AI training is intensifying as clusters scale and traditional protocols show their limits.
