Building High-performance Data Access Layer for Model Training and Model Serving for LLM | User Blog
Mengyu Hu and Chengkun Jia, both from Zhihu’s data platform team, discuss their evolution from HDFS to Alluxio as a high-performance data access layer for LLM training and serving. Alluxio has accelerated model training by 2~3x, increased GPU utilization to 90%, and enabled model deployment every minute instead of hours or days.
Efficient Data Access Strategies For Large-scale AI | Whitepaper
Get a comprehensive understanding of data access patterns in a modern AI/ML platform. This white paper discusses the characteristics of data access in each stage of the machine learning pipeline and the solutions that can be used in architecting your data and AI platform.
Maximize GPU Utilization for Model Training | On-demand Webinar
When training models on ultra-large datasets, one of the biggest challenges is low GPU utilization. These powerful processors are often underutilized due to inefficient I/O and data access. This mismatch between computation and storage leads to wasted GPU resources, low performance, and high cloud storage costs. The rise of generative AI and GPU scarcity is only making this problem worse.
In this webinar, Tarik and Beinan discuss strategies for transforming idle GPUs into optimal powerhouses. They will focus on cost-effective management of ultra-large datasets for AI and analytics.

Rise of the Data Access Layer for Analytics & AI | Analyst Research
Explore the transformative capabilities of the Data Access Layer and how it can simplify and accelerate your analytics and AI workloads. in this new research paper, Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at Eckerson Group, shares the architecture and use cases for a Data Access Layer and how it can help achieve analytics and AI goals with successful performance.
Cost Savings and Optimization
Millions Saved Annually: Unleashing the Power of Alluxio + HDFS at Uber | User Blog
Find out details of our joint project with Uber aimed at optimizing the performance of HDFS DataNodes. The project utilized the Alluxio SDK cache to manage an SSD storage on each DataNode, resulting in improved performance and a better return on investment. Despite the SSD cache occupying only 0.6% of the total disk space, it impressively handles 60% of the overall client traffic.
