Happy to share the results and open-source code for our benchmark test of GPUs in secure computing environment. Thank you to our wonderful colleagues at @esciencecenter.bsky.social. Code is open-sourced for others to use and improve. No private data required.
In the latest blog, we learn how the open-source benchmark compares training speed across different supercomputers, including secure environments. Key takeaways? Hardware differences drive performance gaps and multi-GPU scaling is efficient. Learn more:
