Clockwork transforms bare metal into resilient, production-ready AI infrastructure at any scale.
Boost effective training time, minimize downtime, and ensure GPUs stay continuously productive.

Deliver Consistently on SLAs

Prevent AI Job Interruptions

Preempt interruptions before they stall progress

Minimize checkpoints. Maximize uptime. Accelerate results. Traditional clusters restart more, checkpoint more, and deliver less. With Clockwork, preemptive fault tolerance keeps training and inference jobs running without constant interruptions. Reduce restarts, cut wasted checkpoint time from hours to minutes, and accelerate time-to-market for large models.

Stop Wasting GPU Cycles
On Network Communication Inefficiency

Turn idle communication time into productive compute.

Source: AMD

40% Network communication time where GPU is idle 60% GPU utilization Compute Efficiency

Up to 40% of cluster time can be lost to communication bottlenecks — leaving GPUs idle while workloads wait. Intelligent traffic routing keeps compute flowing, boosting utilization, throughput, and ROI from every GPU hour.

Deliver Faster Jobs, Better Up-time and Hardware Independence

Maximize cluster utilization 
with more concurrent AI jobs

Clockwork eliminates AI job contention with advanced flow control, enabling more concurrent jobs, higher utilization, and greater uptime. Higher utilization means lower compute costs and faster training cycles. Clockwork achieves this by classifying flows at the source, using sub-microsecond telemetry to steer around hot paths, pacing background traffic, and admitting or deferring work to protect priority jobs.

Software-Driven Fabric creates a unified software control plane

Clockwork’s Software-Driven Fabric (SDF) is the architectural foundation of the solution — an intelligent, nanosecond precise unified software control plane that statefully orchestrates all traffic, sustains high cluster utilization, accelerates time-to-train, and makes large AI fleets economically scalable.

“Run Anywhere” approach increases customer flexibility, choice and costly refresh cycles

AI factories are inherently heterogeneous — with diverse GPUs, NICs, switches, transports, and APIs. Vendor-specific optimizations may deliver short-term gains, but they create brittle fabrics and lock customers into costly refresh cycles.

Clockwork’s Software-Driven Fabric (SDF) provides a unified software control plane: any GPU, any NIC, any switch, any transport. By normalizing vendor and generational differences, SDF delivers consistent visibility, real-time control, and fault tolerance across InfiniBand, Ethernet, and RoCE — without application changes.

The result: true hardware independence, faster adoption of new technologies, and protection of past investments. With Clockwork, every GPU hour counts toward customer value.
