A single physical server machine in the data center. Each host
has its associated compute resources such as accelerators. The number and
configuration of these compute resources depend on the machine family.
Virtual machine (VM) instances are provisioned on top of a physical host.
A group of hosts and associated connectivity hardware.
For A3 Ultra, these hosts are connected by a large-scale distributed network
fabric called Jupiter, that offers low predictable latency and flat bandwidth
across all the hosts.
Provides a common, non-blocking network fabric for your
blocks of accelerator capacity. Within a cluster, the east to west networking
is non-blocking for the entire collection of blocks. Each cluster is globally
unique.
A resource request that allocates your accelerator
resources physically close to each other to minimize network hops and optimize
for the lowest latency.
