Application: Segregated fabric control plane (Patent ID: US20240184619A1)
The patent filed by NVIDIA Corp describes a networking device and system where a first processor handles compute tasks while a second processor manages control plane tasks associated with an operation. The second processor's role is to relieve the first processor from the responsibilities of performing control plane tasks, allowing for more efficient operation. The networking device includes communication between the first and second processors via an interface, with the second processor potentially coordinating aspects related to a fabric of GPUs performing tasks for the first processor.
The system also involves a server configuration where the first processor handles compute tasks and the second processor manages control plane tasks, similar to the networking device setup. The second processor in the server communicates with a fabric through interfaces like InfiniBand and Ethernet, and it may coordinate tasks related to GPUs in the fabric. Additionally, the second processor can receive configuration setting data from a user and adjust the execution of various functions like drivers, fabric management, and routing based on this input. Overall, the patent outlines a method for enabling efficient performance of control plane tasks by distributing responsibilities between the first and second processors in a networking device or server setup.
