The NVIDIA Quantum QM8790 represents the pinnacle of 200Gb/s InfiniBand switching technology, delivering exceptional performance for modern data centers. This advanced network switch offers 40 non-blocking ports with 16Tb/s aggregate throughput, enabling ultra-low latency communication for HPC, AI, and cloud infrastructures. With innovative in-network computing capabilities and flexible deployment options, the QM8790 sets a new standard for data center networking efficiency.
The QM8790 network switch incorporates NVIDIA's groundbreaking Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP) technology, which enables computation within the network infrastructure. This innovative approach allows the switch to perform mathematical operations on data packets as they traverse the network, significantly reducing the need for multiple data transmissions between servers. The switch supports all major communication frameworks including MPI, SHMEM, and NCCL, making it ideal for AI training and scientific computing workloads.
The Quantum QM8790 operates by processing data at the network level through specialized embedded hardware. When data packets enter the switch, the integrated SHARP technology can perform aggregation, reduction, and other collective operations without requiring CPU intervention from connected servers. This approach dramatically decreases latency and improves overall system efficiency. The switch can intelligently route traffic using adaptive routing algorithms while implementing sophisticated congestion control mechanisms to prevent network hotspots.
Accelerates distributed training workloads by reducing communication overhead between GPUs
Enables efficient message passing for scientific simulations and research applications
Provides high-bandwidth connectivity for hyperscale data centers and storage networks
