Job Completion Time (JCT), the key metric for measuring training efficiency, is heavily influenced by the network interconnecting thousands of GPUs. In this post, learn why JCT matters, how microbursts and GPU synchronization delays inflate it, and how platforms like Kentik give network engineers the visibility and intelligence they need to keep training jobs on schedule.

They’re foundational to AI workloads. In today’s GPU-heavy data centers, long-lived, high-volume flows can distort ECMP, overflow buffers, and rack up unexpected cloud bills. Kentik helps you _see_ and _tame_ these elephants with real-time flow analytics, automated alerting, and predictive capacity planning.
