What is Interconnect?

In short

An interconnect is the network fabric that links compute nodes so data moves between them at memory speed rather than through a switch.

An interconnect is the network fabric that links compute nodes so data moves between them at memory speed instead of going out through a switch. It shows up as direct links, remote memory access or multi node clusters. Aethir runs on bare metal, no virtualization overhead, and Anyscale reaches Multi-cloud execution across AWS, GCP, Azure, Nebius or CoreWeave. Akash Network offers multi node interconnected training clusters, while Alibaba Cloud links GPUs over a high performance RDMA network.
