Description

The Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) serves as a specialized network interface for Amazon EC2 instances, allowing users to efficiently run applications that demand high inter-node communication at scale within the AWS environment. By utilizing a custom-designed operating system (OS) that circumvents traditional hardware interfaces, EFA significantly boosts the performance of communications between instances, which is essential for effectively scaling such applications. This technology facilitates the scaling of High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications that utilize the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications that rely on the NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. Consequently, users can achieve the same high application performance found in on-premises HPC clusters while benefiting from the flexible and on-demand nature of the AWS cloud infrastructure. EFA can be activated as an optional feature for EC2 networking without incurring any extra charges, making it accessible for a wide range of use cases. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with the most popular interfaces, APIs, and libraries for inter-node communication needs, enhancing its utility for diverse applications.
