NVIDIA InfiniBand is a high-throughput, low-latency interconnect fabric for scale-out AI and HPC clusters.
NVIDIA InfiniBand connects AI, scientific computing, and cloud clusters through Quantum switches, ConnectX adapters, and a networking software stack. The platform combines low-latency communication with adaptive routing, congestion control, and in-network processing of collective operations.
SHARP moves data reduction into the switch network, while UFM supports provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Routers, Ethernet gateways, and long-haul systems extend connectivity across subnets and sites; HPC-X and Magnum IO support communication and data movement for parallel applications.
