|
|
Static Split 8x100G ConnectX-8 to Spectrum-4 with SM Modules |
A static split of 8x100G channels from a ConnectX-8 SuperNIC to a Spectrum-4 switch allows the system to use Single Mode (SM) optical modules for high-speed data transmission across a long-distance fibber link. This setup is typically used in high-performance networks where there is a need for high throughput (e.g., 800G in total bandwidth) with low latency, such as in data centers or high-performance computing environments. |
|
DOCA Telemetry |
DOCA Telemetry enables users to monitor and collect data related to the performance, health, and behavior of systems or applications running on DOCA. To optimize for a faster sampling period, it is recommended to configure all PCIe-related Diagnostic Data IDs sequentially, one after another to prevent a prolonged sampling period. |
|
PCIe Switch fwreset |
Added support for a new synchronized flow, including a tool and driver, to perform a fwreset on setups with a PCIe switch configuration. |
|
PTP |
Unified PTP is now supported across different VFs on the same PF. |
|
Dual-Mode Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (DC-TCXO) and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) Source |
DC-TCXO is used now as the source of timing for SyncE, providing an accurate and stable clock for the synchronized operation of network devices that rely on Ethernet for timing. |
|
DPA Application Signing |
Allows DOCA applications signed with OEM/NVIDIA certificate private keys to be loaded onto the DPA engine, after the OEM/NVIDIA root certificates are installed on the NIC. |
|
Data-Path Accelerator (DPA) |
The DPA hardware version is now exposed as a new capability, labeled "dpa_platform_version." |
|
Block SMP Traffic |
Added a new NV config (SM_DISABLE, default 0) which, when enabled, blocks SMP traffic that does not originate from the SM. |
|
Dynamic Long Cables |
Added the ability to set cable length as a parameter in the PFCC access register. The cable length is used in the calculation of RX lossless buffer parameters, including size, Xoff, and Xon thresholds. |
