Revolutionising the Datacentre for HPC
NVIDIA BlueField Data Processing Units (DPU) ignite unprecedented innovation within servers for the modern datacentre. By offloading, accelerating, and isolating a broad range of advanced, storage, networking and security services, BlueField DPUs provide a secure and accelerated infrastructure for any High Performance Computing (HPC) workload in any environment - from public and private clouds to hosted datacentres, right through to the edge. BlueField DPUs combine powerful compute, full infrastructure-on-chip programmability, zero trust security and high bandwidth networking to address the most demanding big data analytics, scientific computing and HPC workloads.
End-to-End Security
BlueField DPUs enable a zero-trust, security-everywhere architecture where security goes beyond the datacentre perimeter to the edge of every server, ensuring your critical HPC datasets remain protected.
Data Storage for the Expanding Workload
With NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF), GPUDirect Storage, encryption, elastic storage, data integrity, decompression and deduplication, BlueField provides high performance storage access with latencies for remote storage that rival direct attached storage.
High Performance, Efficient Networking
BlueField is a powerful datacentre services accelerator, delivering up to 400Gb/s of Ethernet and InfiniBand connectivity for modern GPU-accelerated workloads like scientific analysis and HPC, while freeing host CPU cores to run applications instead of infrastructure tasks.
The Datacentre on a Chip Architecture
The NVIDIA datacentre-on-a-chip (DOCA) software framework enables developers to rapidly create applications and services for the BlueField-2 DPU. NVIDIA DOCA makes it easy to leverage DPU hardware accelerators, providing breakthrough datacentre performance, efficiency and security. With DOCA, program the datacentre infrastructure of tomorrow by creating high-performance, software-defined, cloud-native, DPU-accelerated services to address the increasing performance and security demands of modern datacentres.
Future Proof
DOCA provides multi-generational support to offer developers the confidence that applications developed today will consistently run with added performance benefits on all future generations of BlueField.
Offload, Accelerate, Isolate Infrastructure
Network, storage and security services are offloaded, accelerated and isolated on the DPU while data is securely delivered to workloads at wire speed.
Open Ecosystem
DOCA offers a software application framework to accelerate ecosystem development.
DOCA unlocks datacentre innovation by enabling developers to rapidly create applications and services on top of NVIDIA DPUs, leveraging industry-standard APIs. Together, DOCA and the BlueField DPU enable the development of applications that deliver breakthrough networking, security, and storage performance with a comprehensive, open development platform. BlueField isolates the infrastructure service domain from the workload domain to offer significant improvements in application and server performance, security, and efficiency, giving developers all the tools they need to realise the optimal, secure, accelerated datacentre.
