This is the third post in the Explaining Magnum IO series, which has the goal of describing the architecture, components, and benefits of Magnum IO, the IO subsystem of the modern data center.
This is the third post in the Explaining Magnum IO series, which has the goal of describing the architecture, components, and benefits of Magnum IO, the IO subsystem of the modern data center.
The first post in this series introduced the Magnum IO architecture; positioned it in the broader context of CUDA, CUDA-X, and vertical application domains; and listed the four major components of the architecture. The second post delved deep into the Network IO components of Magnum IO. This third post covers two shorter areas: computing that occurs in the network adapter or switch and IO management. Whether your interests are in InfiniBand or Ethernet, NVIDIA Mellanox solutions have you covered.
