Learn about the Ethernet PHY used in HPC SoCs and how an integrated MAC+ PHY IP accelerates path to compliance and time-to-design.
Both adapters have an Ethernet transformer to isolate the ethernet signals from the rest of the board (MEC TM1701M & LFE8423, respectively.) The biggest difference is this: the Apple adapter contains a clearly labelled ASIX AX88772ALF USB to Ethernet bridge, the other adapter has an unmarked ...
In contrast, the backend compute fabric is used to scale out GPU-GPU communications from tens of racks to thousands of racks. This network could either use Nvidia’s InfiniBand or Nvidia’s Spectrum-X Ethernet or Ethernet from a switch vendor such as Broadcom through a variety of vendors incl...
