Capabilities and Limitations

NVIDIA Quantum

  • Supports both SHARP low latency and streaming aggregation operations.

  • Supports up to 126 aggregation trees in the subnet (63 low latency trees, and 63 streaming aggregation trees).

Note: The number of SHARP streaming aggregation operations is limited to one active tree per switch.

NVIDIA Quantum-2

  • Supports both SHARP low latency and streaming aggregation operations.

  • Supports up to 1023 aggregation trees in the subnet (511 low latency trees, and 511 streaming aggregation trees).

Note: Multiple SHARP streaming aggregation operations can be operated in parallel by a single Quantum-2 switch. The limit is one active tree per port.

ConnectX-6 and above

Supports both SHARP low latency and streaming aggregation operations.
