Using RDMA over Converged Ethernet networking for AI on Google Cloud
- Google Cloud is making the RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) v2 protocol available to support high-performance workloads, such as AI, ML, and scientific workloads. Traditional workloads involve data movement between source and destination with TCP headers, whereas AI workloads require low latency, high bandwidth, and lossless communication. RDMA allows for the direct exchange of data between systems, bypassing the OS, networking stack, and CPU for faster processing. Google Cloud now supports RoCE v2 for A3 Ultra and A4 Compute Engine machine types with benefits like lower latency, increased bandwidth, lossless communication, and scalability support for large cluster deployments.
- RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) technology enables systems to exchange data without involving the OS, networking stack, and CPU, resulting in faster processing times. With RoCEv2, Google Cloud extends its RDMA-like capabilities and introduces features like priority-based flow control, explicit congestion notification, and UDP port 4791 support. This allows for faster training and inference, making Google Cloud's offering a key differentiator for demanding applications.
- To take advantage of these capabilities, users need to create a reservation, choose a deployment strategy, and create their deployment. The detailed configuration steps and more information can be found in the provided documentation.
- Google Cloud's support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) v2 protocol enables high-performance networking for AI workloads, leading to faster training and inference and improved application speed.

A framework for adopting Gemini Code Assist and measuring its impact
- The adoption and impact of artificial intelligence in software development are crucial for improving efficiency and code quality among developers.
- A practical framework is outlined for adopting AI-assisted code creation and assessing its effectiveness in software development workflows.
- The framework includes four key steps: Adoption, Trust, Acceleration, and Impact in implementing AI code assistants like Gemini Code Assist.
- Adoption involves tracking daily active use and code suggestions to ensure developers are actively using the tool.
- Trust is established by monitoring code suggestion acceptance rates and lines of code accepted to gauge developers' confidence in AI output.
- Acceleration measures improvements in development speed and software quality using metrics like DORA measures and story points.
- Impact connects these improvements to business goals by assessing changes in key performance indicators like revenue and time to market.
- The AI-assistance journey progresses through phases of Adoption, Trust, Acceleration, and Impact, each contributing to the overall improvement in productivity.
- Measures such as daily activity, code suggestion acceptance, and acceleration metrics are essential in affirming progress and impact of AI-assisted coding.
- Gemini Code Assist supports Adoption and Trust measurement through discrete activity insights, user-specific data, and dashboards for tracking AI assistance impact.
- Organizations should conduct evaluations prior to committing to code AI-assistance, with defined success criteria, participant selection, and evaluation measures.
