Ethernet based compute fabric

RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) allows for compute fabrics, including InfiniBand, to be built out over Ethernet.

The NVIDIA Spectrum™ SN5000 series of Ethernet switches is the fifth generation of NVIDIA Ethernet switches, purpose-built to accelerate data center fabrics. With port speeds spanning from 10 to 800 gigabits per second (Gb/s), the SN5000 series switches deliver accelerated Ethernet to every data center without compromising performance or feature set and are designed to be used with the NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU or the ConnectX-7.

For Ethernet based networking switches, other brands of can support the compute fabric and is not exclusive to the NVIDIA ecosystem.
