Applications are increasingly real-time and delay-sensitive, from distributed databases and 5G radio access networks (RANs) to gaming, video streaming, high-performance computing (HPC), and the metaverse. Nanosecond resolution time sync augments conventional computing in many ways, including: Through a series of collaborations, NVIDIA, Meta, and others in the Open Compute Project Time…
]]>NVIDIA ConnectX NIC enables precise timekeeping for social network’s mission-critical distributed applications Facebook is open-sourcing the Open Compute Project Time Appliance Project (OCP TAP), which provides very precise time keeping and time synchronization across data centers in a cost-effective manner. The solution includes a Time Card that can turn almost any commercial off-the-shelf…
]]>NVIDIA Mellanox 5T for 5G technology provides a real-time and high-performance solution for building an efficient, time-synchronized CloudRAN infrastructure. Time synchronization and achieving high time accuracy for network traffic between O-RAN 7.2x compliant front-haul, mid-haul, and back-haul components in a cloud-native RAN (CloudRAN) environment has always been a challenge. Further…
