NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC C8180L Partner Cooled

Overview

The NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC C8180L is an 800 Gb/s network interface card designed for high-performance AI, HPC, and cloud data center environments. This advanced network card supports both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols, delivering ultra-low latency and high bandwidth for demanding workloads. With PCIe Gen6 compatibility and advanced offload capabilities, the ConnectX-8 SuperNIC is ideal for large-scale AI training, inference, and storage applications.

Key Features

• 800 Gb/s total bandwidth (InfiniBand and Ethernet)
• PCIe Gen6 host interface with up to 48 lanes
• Support for RDMA, RoCEv2, and GPUDirect technologies
• Advanced congestion control and in-network computing
• Hardware offload for encryption, tunneling, and virtualization

Technology & Protocols

The ConnectX-8 SuperNIC leverages cutting-edge technologies including:

• InfiniBand (IBTA v1.7) and Ethernet (up to 800G)
• PCI-SIG PCIe Gen6
• RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2)
• NVIDIA SHARP™ for in-network computation
• IPsec, MACsec, and PSP for security
• IEEE 1588v2 PTP for precision timing

How It Works

The ConnectX-8 SuperNIC offloads network processing from the CPU, handling tasks such as packet routing, checksum computation, encryption, and RDMA transactions directly on the card. This reduces latency and increases throughput, making it ideal for AI and HPC clusters. The card supports multi-host configurations and can be split into virtual functions via SR-IOV for cloud deployments.

Applications

• AI training and inference clusters
• High-performance computing (HPC) systems
• Cloud data centers and hyperscale infrastructures
• Storage area networks (SAN) and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF)
• Telecommunications and edge computing
