- Nvidia presents Bluefield-3 dpus updated
- The new editions allow flexible storage server settings
- Bluefield-3 DPU Download CPU tasks and reduces latency for heavy storage environments
NVIDIA has revealed a new iteration of its Bluefield-3 (DPU) data processing unit, which is not only a regular supernic, but a self-hosted model mainly for storage.
The new offer largely increases the memory bandwidth compared to its predecessors, since while the DPU Bluefield-2 used a single channel design, resulting in a lower memory bandwidth than the first generation , Bluefield-3 has DDR5-5600 dual 64-bit 64-bit memory interfaces.
This update translates into 80 GB of bandwidth, which allows faster data processing and efficiency, particularly for applications that depend on access to high -speed data.
Autohosted solutions for storage applications
The special version, classified as B3220SH, also has advanced capabilities for direct hardware connections. With its ability to expose the PCIE roots, this model allows direct integration with NVME SSD and GPU, without going through the need for an external CPU.
This capacity allows greater flexibility in the configuration of storage solutions without depending on the CPU X86 or Traditional ARMs, allowing a more simplified architecture for storage servers. The integration of a PCIE switch further improves the functionality of this model by allowing multiple devices to connect without problems. This architecture not only simplifies data flow, but also reduces latency and improves general performance in intensive storage applications.
The Bluefield-3 versatility extends beyond storage, since its architecture admits several applications in sectors such as high performance computer science (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). The new model can download CPU tasks, releases valuable processing resources for income -generating work loads.
