This is a brief guide to help you get started with SHARP technology

What is SHARP?

Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP) is an in-network technology that improves the performance of MPI operations by offloading collective operations from the CPU to the switch network.

This innovative approach decreases the amount of data traversing the network as aggregation nodes are reached. Implementing collective communication algorithms in the network also has additional benefits, such as freeing up valuable CPU resources for computation rather than using them to process communication.
