Transform High-Performance Computing Data Centers with NVIDIA BlueField DPUs

Providing powerful computing, high-speed NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand networking, and highly programmable engines, the NVIDIA® BlueField® data processing unit (DPU) ignites unprecedented innovation and performance for modern scientific computing applications.

Message Passing Interface (MPI) Performance Acceleration

HPC and AI communication frameworks and libraries are latency and bandwidth sensitive, and play a critical role in determining application performance.

NVIDIA DOCA™ provides many services, including MPI and Shared Memory Library (SHMEM), that accelerate multi-process communication. DOCA enables the DPU to progress the application’s communication periods in parallel with the computation periods, resulting in increased application performance.

Compare Application performance over three communication frameworks.
BlueField DPUs and DOCA enable computational storage and advanced storage offloads for next-generation data centers.

Computational Storage and Advanced Offloads

The next-generation open storage architecture offers a new paradigm for accelerating, isolating, and securing high-performance storage systems. The system employs hardware and software co-design, making the DPU incredibly efficient and transparent to the user.

BlueField DPUs and DOCA enable computational storage and advanced storage offloads for next-generation data centers. DOCA provides storage services on the DPU, including checksum offloads, decompression, NVMe emulation with BlueField SNAP™, and VIRTIO-FS providing file system offloads.

Adaptive Performance Isolation

Modern data centers and multi-application environments need to operate at absolute peak efficiency.  The BlueField DPU enables adaptive performance isolations,  ensuring bare-metal performance for applications by leveraging network telemetry information and application performance characteristics. This enables applications to run simultaneously and achieve performance similar to a single application run.

Multiple applications run simultaneously achieving similar performance as a single application.
