On October 6th, on the GTC 2020 autumn station, NVIDIA announced the launch of a new processor DPU and a data processing unit featuring DOCA. DOCA is a new type of data center infrastructure processor architecture that can be implemented It has breakthrough network, storage and security performance.
In the GTC conference keynote speech, NVIDIA founder and CEO Huang Renxun revealed the development roadmap of NVIDIA DPU in the next three years.
Among them, the new NVIDIA BlueField-2 series DPU and NVIDIA DOCA software development kit can be used to build applications on DPU-accelerated data center infrastructure services.
Huang Renxun said: “Data centers have become a new type of computing unit. In a modern and safe accelerated data center, DPU has become an important part of it. The combination of CPU, GPU and DPU can form a fully programmable single AI computing unit. Provide unprecedented security and computing power.”
The optimized BlueField-2 DPU offloads critical network, storage, and security tasks from the CPU, enabling enterprises to transform their IT infrastructure into a state-of-the-art data center. Such data centers can be accelerated, are fully programmable, and have “zero trust” security features to prevent data leakage and cyber attacks.
It is understood that a single BlueField-2 DPU can provide data center services equivalent to consuming 125 CPU cores. This frees up valuable CPU cores to run various other enterprise applications.
Nvidia said that BlueField-2 DPU is currently available for samples and is expected to be used in server manufacturers’ new systems in 2021. The BlueField-2X DPU is under development and is expected to be available in 2021.
