FS & PicOS? Innovations: RoCE Lossless Network for HPC
Welcome to the sixth edition of our monthly newsletter. Here we share the latest and greatest highlights of FS & PicOS? network solutions. Whether you are a network technology professional or an enthusiast, here you will find valuable insights.
In today's high-performance computing landscape, achieving low latency and high efficiency is crucial. This edition focuses on the RoCE Lossless Network, which significantly enhances HPC by integrating 400G/800G PicOS? switches with NVIDIA? GPUs for real-time data processing. Our RoCE solution ensures zero packet loss and optimal bandwidth utilization, offering unified platform and automated configuration & management with PicOS? and AmpCon? for modern data centers.
RoCE Technology in High-Performance Computing
The RoCE protocol boosts bandwidth efficiency in HPC environments by reducing CPU resource usage and mitigating network congestion. Empirical tests indicate that using RoCE can reduce end-to-end application layer latency within the same cluster from 50 microseconds, typical with traditional TCP/IP, to under 5 microseconds. This is especially critical for high-performance computing tasks that require real-time data processing.
Achieve RoCE Lossless Networking with a Unified and Automated Platform
FS 400G RoCE network solution enhances performance by seamlessly integrating compute, management, and storage networks within a unified platform. The RoCE compute network, powered by 400G Ethernet switches and NVIDIA? GPUs, guarantees high throughput and minimal latency. The management network utilizes PicOS? software and AmpCon? for automated configuration and management, significantly streamlining operations. Additionally, the storage network features flexible, scalable architecture with high performance and zero packet loss. By leveraging RDMA technology, this solution enables latency as low as 0.4 us, effectively reducing network congestion and optimizing bandwidth utilization.
FS PicOS? Switches: 400G/800G for High-Bandwidth Needs
As the cornerstone of the RoCE solution, FS 400G and 800G PicOS? switches utilize Broadcom's Tomahawk and Trident chips, supporting RoCEv2 and EVPN-VXLAN protocols. These switches provide port bandwidth of up to 800G, allowing modern data centers to handle a high volume of simultaneous data streams. With the AmpCon? platform, these switches enable automated configuration and management, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational complexity. Whether deployed for leaf-spine architectures or supporting virtualization in multi-tenant environments, FS PicOS? switches deliver flexible and efficient network solutions with outstanding performance.
