The Battle of AI Networking: Ethernet vs InfiniBand
This article is not an exploration of who does Ethernet better so much as a direct examination of technology itself. Numbers will be reported as an aggregate means between major players in the AI Networking market and contrasted with equivalent InfiniBand performance. The goal is to answer, at an atomic level, one question: eliminating all other variables, is Ethernet good enough?
Performance Benchmarking: Bun vs. C# vs. Go vs. Node.js vs. Python
