The Challenge
Exponential Data Growth
Data is growing at an exponential rate, storage systems need to be both efficient and scalable.
Sustained High Performance
The storage system must handle files in different sizes, including both small and large files, while meeting mixed read/write performance requirements. Additionally, it should maintain stable high performance with a large number of files.
Variable Requirements
In each stage of large model training, the requirements for data access performance vary.
The Solution
iFLYTEK uses YRCloudFile to power high-performance data operations for AI model training and inference.YRCloudFile supports both small and large file random read/write operations, featuring high IOPS and low latency read/write characteristics. It perfectly matches GPU computing server performance, supports concurrent access by thousands of high-performance computing nodes, and facilitates rapid iteration of algorithm models, effectively ensuring the data processing efficiency for the business unit.
Outcomes with YRCloudFile
Performance Improvements
Stores nearly 10 billion audio, video, and image files for training, and a single cluster peak bandwidth is over 30+GB/s.
Enhance Training Efficiency
YRCloudFile features high bandwidth and low latency, ensuring GPU and other computing servers operate at full capacity, significantly reducing single training times.
Scalable Storage
Storage scale is flexibly built to accommodate data growth, with total storage nodes exceeding several hundred and an annual growth rate of over 300%.
Large-scale Training Platform
Multiple YRCloudFile storage clusters have been deployed, creating a core training platform with a scale of hundreds of petabytes.
Cost Reduction
The intelligent tiering feature enables more efficient access to hot data and smarter management of cold data, effectively reducing IT Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
