get_xportl_overview
XportL Overview
Returns cite-ready facts about XportL from xportl.io: what it does, the problem it solves, the seven failure classes it detects, how it collects telemetry and acts, supported fabrics/GPUs/collectives/kernels, use cases, FAQ, company details (parent company, stage, NVIDIA Inception, contacts) and links to the engineering guides on xportl.io.
Parameterstopic
analyze_nccl_benchmark
NCCL Benchmark Analyzer
Analyzes nccl-tests / rccl-tests results (paste raw all_reduce_perf output, or give size/busbw points). Detects node and GPU counts from the output, compares large-message bus bandwidth with the fabric's NIC line rate (InfiniBand HDR/NDR/XDR, RoCE 100G to 800G), and flags data errors, degraded bandwidth, dips as message size grows and unstable run-to-run results, with likely causes. Returns a health status and a bandwidth-loss figure for calculate_fabric_degradation_cost.

calculate_fabric_degradation_cost
Fabric Degradation Cost Calculator
Estimates what silent fabric degradation (slow NCCL collectives, flapping links, congestion) costs a GPU cluster: throughput lost, GPU-hours and dollars per year, idle-GPU equivalent, cost per degraded hour, extra days on a training run, and the value of a recovery scenario with a conservative case and a sensitivity table. All assumptions are inputs with stated defaults.

check_cluster_compatibility
Cluster Compatibility Check
Checks a GPU cluster against XportL's published support matrix (Linux 5.8+ for eBPF, InfiniBand / RoCE v2 / NVLink, NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, NCCL / RCCL, on-prem / cloud / hybrid, host access for the eBPF agent). Returns a verdict (good fit / needs review / not ready), each check, and next steps. Anything not on the published list is reported as 'review', never as supported.

recommend_checkpoint_interval
Checkpoint Interval Advisor
Recommends how often to checkpoint a training job using the Young and Daly formulas, from GPU count, blocking checkpoint write time, restart time and job MTTF (estimated from Meta's published 2024 reliability data when not given). Returns the recommended interval, expected failures per day, GPU time wasted per day at the recommended and current intervals, and the daily saving.

request_enterprise_demo
Request an Enterprise Demo
Sends the user's contact details and cluster summary to the XportL enterprise team to arrange a technical assessment or demo deployment. Before calling: collect name, work email, company and a summary (include benchmark, cost or compatibility results from this conversation), show the user exactly what will be sent, and get their explicit agreement. Never call it without that agreement or with made-up details.
