Data centres going a deeper shade of green thanks to energy-efficient networks accelerated with data processing units ~ ~ DPU
The numbers are in, and they paint a picture of data centres going a deeper shade of green thanks to energy-efficient networks accelerated with data processing units .
Accelerated computing with DPUs for networking, security and storage jobs is one of the next big steps for making data centres more power efficient. It’s the latest of a handful of optimisations, described in the whitepaper, for data centres moving into the era of green computing.Seeing the trend toward energy-efficient networks, VMware enabled DPUs to run its virtualisation software used by thousands of companies worldwide.
Researchers at Ericsson tested whether operators could reduce their power consumption on this massive workload using SmartNICs, the network interface cards that handle DPU functions. Their test let CPUs slow down or sleep while an Nvidia ConnectX SmartNIC handled the networking tasks. The results, detailed in a recent article, were stunning.
In the tests, BlueField-2 DPUs handled virtualisation, encryption and networking jobs needed to manage these portable packages of applications and code.
