• Red Hat ☛ Network performance in distributed training: Maximizing GPU utilization on OpenShift

  We compared two IBM Cloud GPU clusters—one with NVIDIA  L40S GPUs and one with H100 GPUs—head‑to‑head to see what really drives distributed training performance.

  The key finding is that for distributed training, the choice of network architecture is the most significant factor in performance, far outweighing the capabilities of the default container networking.

• Red Hat ☛ Profiling vLLM Inference Server with GPU acceleration on RHEL

  Understanding the performance characteristics of large language models (LLMs) is crucial for optimization. For those new to vLLM and LLM infrastructure, performance profiling can seem daunting. However, tools like flame graphs provide an intuitive and powerful starting point for visualizing execution flow and identifying bottlenecks.

• Red Hat Official ☛ Simplified patching with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Insights

  Using Red Hat Insights, the process is simplified and more prescriptive: Define the software you want in your environment, instruct your Red Hat Insights-registered systems to pull updates from that set of software, and patch.
