This section covers the whole solution that uses Intel® TDX technology to secure the AI workload. We used the Dell PowerEdge R760 with 5th generation Intel® Xeon® processors. On the Dell R760, we installed the latest Ubuntu 23.10 with a new version of Linux kernel. We then enabled Intel® TDX technology, so that we could secure Virtual Machines. Enabling Intel® TDX is covered in Appendix A of this document.
As an example of a workload, we used the LLM inference workload that is running on an optimized version of PyTorch called Intel® Extension for PyTorch with the Llama 2 7B model, leveraging the efficiency of DeepSpeed technology.
The benchmark setup is described in Appendix C.
We compared the LLM results from the normal VM against the secured VM with Intel® TDX.
