Orca-R2100

Orca-R2100, a compact RDMA SmartNIC with two 100G ports, ensures high performance and low latency for HPC, big data, and cloud applications, featuring multi-process isolation, programmable MTT caches, and RoCEv2 support with a 70W power consumption.

Overview

Orca-R2100 is an RDMA smart NIC with independent intellectual property rights, supporting two 100G data networks ports, supporting RoCEv2 large-scale network deployment, it has a hardware engine to handle RDMA operations, which can achieve high performance, low latency, and low CPU overhead in network data transmission, and is usually used in high-performance computing (HPC), big data analysis, cloud computing, and distributed storage systems and other scenarios with very high network performance requirements.

Features

The Orca-R2100 RDMA SmartNIC features high performance, ultra-low latency, and ultra-high reliability.

  • Excellent interactive performance

    • Supports multi-process isolated, independent, and protected access to NIC hardware resources
    • FW interacts with the host through Command Queue to process non-I/O commands, providing high flexibility
      and control
    • FW manages programmable MTT caches and can flexibly formulate MTT cache policies based on scenarios
      to improve cache performance
  • Excellent hardware performance
     
    • Supports up to 20K QP
    • All hardware processes WQE、RoCEv2 protocols:low latency and high throughput
    • Fast WQE support:Greatly reduces latency at low loads
    • Congestion control algorithm:The hardware supports EC or RTT-based congestion control algorithm to achieve fair bandwidth allocation, fast rate convergence and ultra-high network link utilization
