Startup Rips The Switch Out Of High Performance Networks
The rapid movement of data to the cloud, the sharp rise in the amount of east-west traffic and the broadening adoption of modern applications like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are putting stress on traditional networking infrastructures that were designed for a different era and are struggling to meet the demands for better performance, more bandwidth and less latency. …

One Way To Bring DPU Acceleration To Supercomputing
That is not a typo in the title. We did not mean to say GPU in title above, or even make a joke that in hybrid CPU_GPU systems, the CPU is more of a serial processing accelerator with a giant slow DDR4 cache for GPUs in hybrid supercomputers these days – therefore making the CPU a kind of accelerator for the GPU. …

Why The DPU Is More Important Than The CPU For Nvidia
If you are fairly new to the IT racket, you might be under the impression that the waves of integration and disaggregation in compute, networking, and storage that swept over the datacenter in recent decades were all new, that somehow the issues of complexity and cost did not plague systems of the past. …
