FAQ

HPC compute power has surged, but networking lags. Despite bandwidth growth, it remains insufficient. Reducing latency and scaling intelligently with open-standard protocols are crucial for future workloads. 

Existing networking solutions often create bottlenecks by over-relying on CPUs for data processing, increasing latency and slowing response times. This leads to underutilised GPUs, idle up to 70% of the time, and limits overall throughput. Despite increasing bandwidth, scalability challenges, high CPU overhead, and limited optimisation features persist, complicating infrastructure management. 

BXI V3, a fully European technology, natively supports Ethernet and TCP/IP, enabling scalable cluster aggregation. Its Smart NIC offloads GPU communication tasks, reducing idle time and improving ROI through better GPU utilisation, lower TCO, and enhanced performance. With integrated RDMA and Atomics support, plus advanced congestion management, it ensures faster, more efficient application execution with plug-and-play simplicity.
