This paper explores how Telco networks can enable distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) by equipping Central Offices with GPUs and leveraging network acceleration. We discuss Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet and its evolution towards Ultra-Ethernet, Data Processing Units (DPU), and in-network computing as key enablers to transform geographically distributed infrastructure into a cost-effective programmable AI platform.

This paper explores how Telco networks can enable distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) by equipping Central Offices with GPUs and leveraging network acceleration. We discuss Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet and its evolution towards Ultra-Ethernet, Data Processing Units (DPU), and in-network computing as key enablers to transform geographically distributed infrastructure into a cost-effective programmable AI platform.File in questo prodotto:
