I-Nvidia ifuna irekhodi le-IOPS yesitoreji nama-BlueField DPU

I-Nvidia ithi izuze i-IOPS yokugcina irekhodi nama-GPU ayo akhethekile e-BlueField asebenza njengama-SmartNIC. Umphakeli wama-chip ufuna ukukhombisa ukuthi ama-DPU aletha i-IOPS yesitoreji esiphezulu kakhulu ngesivinini sokucubungula ngokushesha ezikhungweni zedatha.

Ama-DPU, aziwa nangokuthi ama-SmartNIC, amakhadi enethiwekhi anephrosesa yawo enamandla. Ama-DPU avame ukuthunyelwa ezikhungweni zedatha ukuze aqhube imisebenzi ethile efana nezindonga zomlilo nokubethela, akhulule isikhala ukuze abanye abacubunguli benze imisebenzi ebaluleke kakhulu, njenge-AI noma imithwalo yemisebenzi yezibalo.

Ama-Hyperscaler afana ne-AWS, i-Azure ne-Google ngokuvamile asebenzisa ama-SmartNIC ezindaweni zabo zesikhungo sedatha ukuze aqhube izimo ezijwayelekile zesikhungo sedatha.

Hlola ukucushwa nokusebenza

Esivivinyweni esenziwe, uNvidia usebenzise ama-GPU amabili e-Ethernet BlueField GPU kumaseva amabili ahlukene we-HPE ProLiant DL100 Gen 380 Plus. Ukucushwa bekuhlanganisa ne-Intel Ice Lake Xeon Platinum 10 CPUs, 8380GB ye-DRAM, 512MB ye-L120 cache (3MB isokhethi ngalinye), kanye nebhasi le-PCIe Gen60.

I-BlueField DPUs inikeze umkhawulokudonsa onentambo ongu-4000 Gbps phakathi komqalisi nokuhlosiwe. Ukwengeza, Ikhithi Yokuthuthukiswa Kokusebenza Kwesitoreji (SPDK) kanye nokuhlolwa kwe-FIO kwasetshenziswa futhi i-Linux kernel yayiqondiswe.

Ukucushwa kukhiqize ama-IOPS ayizigidi ezingama-41.5 ekuhlolweni. NgokukaNvidia, lokhu kuphindwe kane ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi enye i-DPU etholakalayo njengamanje. Irekhodi le-IOPS libonisa ukuthi i-Nvidia's BlueField DPUs ingaletha ukusebenza okuhle nokusebenza kahle okukhulu phakathi kwezikhungo zedatha zamaseva wezinhlelo zokusebenza nezinto zokugcina izinto, phakathi kokunye.

Amathuba amaningi ama-DPU

Ngokusho kochwepheshe abavela kwa-Nvidia, ukuhlolwa ngerekhodi le-IOPS elizuziwe libonisa ukuthi ama-BlueField DPU ayakwazi ukusebenzisa ngokugcwele inethiwekhi ye-4000 Gbps. Lokhu kuwusizo ikakhulukazi kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ze-AI ezidinga idatha ngokushesha okukhulu. Ama-Nvidia DPU ayakwazi ukunikeza amandla anele ukwenza lokhu kwenzeke.

Abahlinzeki abambalwa bezokuphepha ne-hardware yenethiwekhi sebevele bekhombisa intshisekelo kuma-Nvidia BlueField GPUs.
