As GPU sizes increase, intra-socket wire transfer delay increases significantly. While previous research has optimized for compute and memory locality within a socket, the spatial impact on inter-GPU communication has not been well-studied. We introduce the term non-uniform network access (NUNA) to describe this emerging optimization dimension in multi-GPU systems. We specifically focus on latency-sensitive collective communication, common in machine learning inference.
