Data Transport

Transport Architecture: Data Transport

Swarm’s Data Transport Architecture is designed to handle diverse data movement requirements efficiently, supporting real-time operations, batch processing, and large-scale transfers. This architecture ensures seamless and secure data flow for various AI workloads.


Core Components

  1. Data Transport:

    • Manages the transfer of data across nodes and services within the Swarm network.

    • Supports multiple data handling modes, including streaming and batch processing.

  2. Streaming:

    • Enables real-time data movement for latency-sensitive applications like inference and monitoring.

    • Optimized for continuous data flows with minimal delay.

  3. Batch:

    • Facilitates scheduled or on-demand transfer of large datasets or backups.

    • Suitable for training datasets, archival processes, and non-real-time operations.

  4. Real-Time:

    • Supports real-time data delivery for ML pipelines and dynamic workflows.

    • Ensures low-latency communication for applications like real-time inference and metrics collection.

  5. ML Pipelines:

    • Orchestrates data flows for machine learning tasks such as training, validation, and fine-tuning.

    • Handles preprocessing, feature extraction, and data transformations efficiently.

  6. Data Flows:

    • Defines pathways for data movement, ensuring optimized routes and minimal overhead.

    • Supports both inter-node and intra-node data exchange.

  7. Large Transfers:

    • Manages the movement of extensive datasets, such as training data or model checkpoints.

    • Implements compression and optimization techniques to reduce transfer times and bandwidth usage.

  8. Backups:

    • Ensures secure and reliable data backup transfers for disaster recovery and archival purposes.

    • Employs encryption and integrity checks to protect data during transit.

  9. Inference:

    • Enables efficient transport of input data and model outputs for real-time AI predictions.

    • Optimized for low-latency and high-throughput use cases.

  10. Metrics:

    • Collects and transports system and application performance metrics for real-time monitoring and analysis.

    • Ensures minimal impact on primary workloads.
