Tools of the Trade: C2C Activation Offloading on Grace Blackwell
We demonstrate the potential of NVIDIA's NVLink C2C on Grace-based superchips as a high-performance alternative to selective activation checkpointing. By offloading MLP activations to host memory during training, we achieve a 6–13% throughput improvement over selective AC with negligible memory overhead.

Vision
Our vision: Research
When we founded Poolside in San Francisco in April 2023, the narrative in the industry was that all we needed to reach AGI was to scale up language modelling.
Our vision: Purpose
We believe in a future where AI drives abundance—making science, health, housing, food, and education better, cheaper, and more accessible.
