Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use conditionally in a measured inference deployment with pinned versions and backend configuration.

Why
Independent experiments demonstrate useful GPU and storage-backed transfers, while cold-pair behavior, transfer direction and recovery materially affect deployment readiness.
Next
Warm and correctness-check every transfer pair, benchmark realistic cache-hit rates and READ/WRITE paths, and test peer restart and recovery before expanding.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Cold transfer pairs require warmup and correctness checks.
  • Non-RDMA READ transfers can suffer severe performance loss.
  • Storage benefits depend on context reuse and cache-hit rate.
  • Current-release failure recovery lacks broad independent validation.
  • Linux-only support limits deployment platforms.
