NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand Platform
NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand Platform
The NVIDIA Quantum-X800 platform is the next generation of NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand. Unleashing 800 gigabits per second (Gb/s) of end-to-end connectivity with ultra-low latency, NVIDIA Quantum-X800 is purpose-built for training and deploying trillion-parameter-scale AI models. The NVIDIA Quantum-X800 Q3400 InfiniBand switch at the core of the platform supports 2X faster speeds and 5X higher scalability for AI compute fabrics. Additionally, the platform includes the NVIDIA® ConnectX®-8 SuperNIC™, delivering 800G connectivity to the host, with advanced offload and quality-of-service enhancements.
Leveraging advanced hardware-based In-Network Computing with NVIDIA Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)™ v4, adaptive routing, and telemetry-based congestion control for highest performance, NVIDIA Quantum-X800 is enabling a new frontier of AI innovation.
NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC
The NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC leverages NVIDIA’s next-generation adapter architecture to deliver unparallelled end-to-end 800Gb/s networking with performance isolation, essential for efficiently managing generative AI clouds. It provides 800Gb/s data throughput with PCI Express (PCIe) Gen6, offering up to 48 lanes for various use cases such as PCIe switching inside NVIDIA GPU systems. It also supports advanced NVIDIA In-Network Computing, MPI_Alltoall, as well as fabric enhancement features like quality of service and congestion control.
The ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, featuring single-port OSFP224 and dual-port 112 connectors for the adapters, is compatible with various form factors, including OCP 3.0 and Card Electromechanical (CEM) PCIe x16. ConnectX-8 SuperNIC also supports NVIDIA Socket Direct™ 16-lane auxiliary card expansion.
