InfiniBand Enhanced Capabilities

In-Network Computing

NVIDIA Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)^™ offloads collective communications operations from the compute to the switch network. This innovative approach decreases the amount of data traversing the network, dramatically reduces the time of Message Passing Interface (MPI) operations, and increases datacenter efficiency.

Self-Healing Network

In HPC and AI, clusters depend upon a high-speed and reliable interconnect. NVIDIA InfiniBand with self-healing network capabilities overcomes link failures, enabling network recovery 1,000X faster than any other software-based solution. The self-healing networking capabilities take advantage of the intelligence built into the latest generation of InfiniBand switches.

Quality of Service

InfiniBand is the only high-performance interconnect solution with proven quality-of-service capabilities, including advanced congestion control and adaptive routing, resulting in unmatched network efficiency.

Network Topologies

InfiniBand has complete centralized management and can support any topology. The most popular topologies include Fat Tree, Hypercubes, multi-dimensional Torus, and Dragonfly+. Optimized routing algorithms provide optimized performance when designing a topology for particular application communication patterns.
