713174-001 - HP 40 InfiniBand (IB) 544FLR-XCede Adapter

Description

The HP 713174-001, powered by Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI technology, is a cutting-edge adapter designed for the most demanding high-performance computing (HPC) and data-intensive environments. It offers a blazing-fast 40Gb/s connection speed, utilizing the InfiniBand protocol for ultra-low latency and high throughput, which is critical for tightly coupled clusters and parallel processing tasks. The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) capability allows this single adapter to support both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols, providing unparalleled flexibility and simplifying network infrastructure. This adapter leverages the PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface, ensuring maximum bandwidth and minimal latency between the adapter and the host system. Its low-profile form factor makes it suitable for installation in a wide range of server configurations, including those with limited internal space. The ConnectX-3 VPI chipset is renowned for its advanced features, such as RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and InfiniBand, which offload network processing from the CPU, leading to significant performance gains and improved application efficiency. Applications benefiting from the HP 713174-001 include large-scale scientific simulations, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) training, big data analytics, and high-frequency trading platforms. By providing a high-speed, low-latency fabric, this adapter enables faster data access, quicker computation, and more efficient communication between nodes in a cluster. It represents a significant upgrade for environments requiring the utmost in network performance and protocol flexibility.
