Part Number(s)
IBM Part# 00D9690
Overview:
Mellanox's ConnectX-3 and ConnectX-3 Pro ASIC delivers low latency - high bandwidth - and computing efficiency for performance-driven server applications. Efficient computing is achieved by offloading from the CPU routine activities - which makes more processor power available for the application. Network protocol processing and data movement impacts - such as InfiniBand RDMA and Send/Receive semantics - are completed in the adapter without CPU intervention. RDMA support extends to virtual servers when SR-IOV is enabled. Mellanox's ConnectX-3 advanced acceleration technology enables higher cluster efficiency and scalability of up to tens of thousands of nodes.
