NVIDIA DOCA 2.9 introduces significant enhancements in AI and cloud computing, offering improved performance, security, and scalability for data centers and developers.
NVIDIA has unveiled DOCA 2.9, a major update to its Data Center Infrastructure framework, designed to enhance AI compute fabrics and cloud computing infrastructure. This latest release promises significant improvements in performance, security, and scalability, according to NVIDIA’s official announcement.
DOCA 2.9 introduces a comprehensive software framework that leverages hardware acceleration, boosting efficiency and performance. The update includes improvements in congestion control, telemetry capabilities, and support for NVIDIA’s Spectrum-X 1.2 reference architecture. This architecture enables massive scale-out capabilities, supporting up to 128,000 GPUs in a single fabric, crucial for AI workloads.
New capabilities in the DOCA telemetry library allow for high-frequency sampling, enhancing network monitoring for AI-driven environments. This provides more granular insights into network performance, essential for optimizing AI workloads.
The update also focuses on north-south cloud computing improvements by enhancing connectivity between cloud resources and external networks. With new features like the ‘tune’ performance analysis tool integrated into DOCA Flow, users gain unprecedented insights into their network flow configurations.
OVS-DOCA, now generally available, introduces local mirroring capabilities and significant performance boosts in connection tracking, making it a robust alternative to legacy solutions for modern networking environments.
DOCA 2.9 also enhances security through improved capabilities in the DOCA App Shield library, offering advanced container monitoring features for Linux environments. This aids security teams in maintaining vigilance over containerized workloads.
Additionally, the DOCA Management Service (DMS) has reached general availability, offering streamlined device management capabilities for NVIDIA BlueField DPUs and SuperNICs. This update simplifies operations in complex environments by supporting configuration persistency across node reboots.
With DOCA 2.9, NVIDIA aims to future-proof data center infrastructure, providing developers with robust tools to optimize application and datapath performance. The release supports the transition to DOCA-OFED, a unified networking stack integrated within the DOCA framework, marking a significant step forward in AI and cloud infrastructure development.
