Introduction

Mellanox provides the world's first smart switch, enabling in-network computing through the Co-Design SHARP technology. SB7800 has the highest fabric performance available in the market with up to 7Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with 90ns port-to-port latency.

SB7800 is the world's first smart network switch, designed to enable in-network computing through the Co-Design Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP) technology. The Co-Design architecture enables the usage of all active data center devices to accelerate the communications frameworks, resulting in order of magnitude applications performance improvements.

SB7800 enables efficient computing with features such as static routing, adaptive routing, congestion control and enhanced VL mapping to enable modern topologies (SlimFly, Dragonfly+, 6D Torus). These ensure the maximum effective fabric bandwidth by eliminating congestion hot spots.

The SB7800 switch has best-in-class design to support low power consumption. ATIS weighted power consumption is 136W for a fully-populated switch. Power is further reduced if not all ports are used or if partially utilized.
