Pattern-Based Predictive AI across Multidimensional Event Data
A New Paradigm of Predictive AI Infrastructure that's Faster and Smarter
Introducing the
Platform
TM
The synergy of pattern-of-life (PoL) analysis and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) underpins a new generation of end-to-end AI infrastructure that integrates computing, networking, and storage into a cohesive, predictive platform. By learning nuanced usage patterns in real time, these approaches power advanced branch prediction on CPUs and GPUs, optimize network routing and load balancing, and orchestrate storage tiers through data prefetching, retention, and eviction. The result is a self-optimizing AI ecosystem that seamlessly adapts to dynamic workloads, improving performance and resource utilization. SARAHAI, developed by Tensor Networks, Inc., is at the forefront. SARAHAI harnesses PoL and KDE to deliver predictive pattern-based intelligence that streamlines every layer of the AI pipeline, enabling organizations to increase throughput, reduce latency, and minimize costs while ushering in a new era of autonomous, data-driven operations.
![Executive Summary
Modern AI clusters rely on massively parallel GPU-based architectures and large-scale distributed frameworks like NCCL (for NVIDIA) or RCCL (for AMD). These clusters frequently encounter network bottlenecks during all-reduce and broadcast operations central to distributed deep learning. SARAHAI-NETWORK leverages patented unsupervised AI techniques to dynamically detect and adapt to network traffic patterns, reduce congestion, improving throughput, and potentially lowering TCO by more effectively utilizing existing infrastructure.
In this white paper, we:
• Explain SARAHAI-NETWORK’s approach to adaptive HPC networking for large AI clusters.
• Show anticipated performance improvements in HPC job throughput, AI training speedups, and overall cost savings.
• Provide charts and cost models demonstrating how SARAHAI’s unsupervised autoencoder, combined with real-time telemetry, can proactively identify emerging hotspots and anomalies.

1. The Challenge: High-Performance AI Clusters Under Strain
1.1 Growth of Distributed AI Training
• Explosion in model sizes (billions of parameters) demands distributing training across dozens or hundreds of GPUs or even entire HPC clusters.
• All-reduce or all-gather operations used by frameworks like PyTorch Distributed or TensorFlow rely heavily on NCCL/RCCL to pass gradients or parameters among nodes.
1.2 Bottlenecks & Inefficiency
• Traditional HPC networks can saturate with traffic patterns that peak unpredictably.
• AI training jobs often share cluster resources, leading to suboptimal scheduling and link utilization.
• HPC administrators struggle to maintain high throughput while ensuring minimal overhead for encryption or telemetry.

2. SARAHAI-NETWORK: AI-Driven Adaptive Networking
2.1 Patented Autoencoder Technology
• SARAHAI-NETWORK implements an unsupervised autoencoder referencing Patent #11,308,384.
• The autoencoder reconstructs HPC traffic “signatures”; high reconstruction error (MSE) indicates anomalous or new patterns that may degrade performance.
2.2 Real-Time Telemetry & Encryption
• Telemetry (HTTPS) exports usage metrics, capturing GPU usage, CPU load, memory, throughput.
• AES-GCM encryption ensures data-plane confidentiality if required, while fallback IP bindings ensure the service remains available on Windows HPC nodes.
2.3 Intelligent Route or Scheduling Adjustments
• As SARAHAI learns typical HPC traffic, it can trigger route changes or scheduling shifts in the cluster job manager (via REST hooks or custom integration):
o Divert congested traffic to alternative paths.
o Suggest job placement that avoids saturated links.
o Flag anomalies if HPC data patterns diverge from normal baselines.

• Up to 24% improvement in 95th-percentile completion time in HPC test scenarios.
3.2 GPU Utilization Increase

Operational | 0.8 0.6
---------------------------------------------------------------
Total | 5.0 4.6
Savings => 0.4M / year
Reasons:
• Better throughput means fewer HPC nodes for the same jobs or faster job completion.
• Less wasted GPU time reduces power/cooling overhead and operational burdens.

4. AI Cluster Deployment Recommendations
4.1 Setup & Integration
1. Install SARAHAI-NETWORK on HPC nodes (or a central HPC network orchestrator) with the correct GPU build of PyTorch.
2. Enable AI in config (ai.enabled = true), pass HPC or telemetry data for training if you want advanced scheduling recommendations.
3. Optional: Integrate route/scheduling signals with your HPC job manager.
4.2 Best Practices
• Monitor MSE from the autoencoder. High or spiking MSE indicates new traffic or saturations.
• Ensure NCCL/RCCL environment variables (e.g., NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME) are set properly.
• For minimal overhead, selectively enable AES-GCM encryption on critical HPC traffic only, if security demands it.
4.3 Example HPC Workflow
1. HPC nodes run large AI training with NCCL all-reduce.
2. SARAHAI autoencoder sees stable patterns, learns typical HPC flows.
3. If a new job saturates certain links, the MSE rises abruptly → SARAHAI flags anomaly.
4. HPC job manager triggers route adjustments or different node assignments → alleviates congestion.
5. HPC training resumes high throughput with balanced link usage.
