NVIDIA High Performance Ethernet SmartNIC
NVIDIA® Mellanox® BlueField®-2 SmartNIC delivers advanced functionality, unmatched performance and agility for today's most demanding workloads. By combining the industry leading ConnectX®-6 Dx network adapter with an array of Arm® cores, BlueField-2 delivers a perfect blend of hardware and software accelerations. BlueField-2 brings agile and high performance solutions for security, machine learning, cloud, edge computing and storage applications while reducing total cost of ownership.
BlueField-2 SmartNIC features the second generation BlueField-2 Data Processing Unit (DPU)-an innovative and high-performance programmable networking engine. The DPU integrates an array of eight powerful 64-bit Armv8 A72 cores interconnected by a coherent mesh with a DDR4 memory controller and a dual-port Ethernet network controller.
BlueField-2 SmartNIC supports dual QSFP56 ports at link speeds of 10/25/50/100 GbE or a single port of 200 GbE, a 1 GbE out-of-band management port for the Arm subsystem, and includes an integrated 16-lane PCIe Gen 3.0/4.0 switch.
BlueField-2 SmartNIC complete portfolio includes a variety of form factors including HHHL (half height, half length), FHHL (full height, half length), and Open Compute Project Spec 3.0 (OCP 3.0 Small Form Factor).
At the heart of BlueField-2 SmartNIC is the industry-leading ConnectX-6 Dx network adapter with unprecedented built-in hardware functionality, performance and resiliency. BlueField-2 hardware accelerations include advanced RDMA/RoCE capabilities as well as innovative cryptography, storage and networking accelerations. Relying on these built-in offloads, the BlueField-2 powerful array of Arm cores can be programmed for sophisticated custom accelerations and control path manipulations. BlueField-2 also benefits from the rich Arm ecosystem to deliver complete solutions to cloud operators and service providers.
