Feature Description
processor offloading specific storage tasks from the host using its
powerful NVMe over Fabrics Offload accelerator.
SR-IOV
NVIDIA DPU SR-IOV technology provides dedicated adapter resources
and guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines (VM)
within the server.

GPU Direct
GPUDirect RDMA is a technology that provides a direct P2P (Peer-to-
Peer) data path between the GPU Memory directly to/from the NVIDIA
HCA devices. This provides a significant decrease in GPU-GPU
communication latency and completely offloads the CPU, removing it
from all GPU-GPU communications across the network. NVIDIA DPU
uses high-speed DMA transfers to copy data between P2P devices
resulting in more efficient system applications
Isolation
BlueField-2 DPU functions as a “computer-in-front-of-a-computer,”
unlocking unlimited opportunities for custom security applications on its
Arm processors, fully isolated from the host’s CPU. In the event of a
compromised host, BlueField-2 may detect/block malicious activities in
real-time and at wire speed to prevent the attack from spreading
further.

Acceleration
s
From IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption to AES-XTS block-
level data-at-rest encryption and public key acceleration, BlueField-2
DPU hardware-based accelerations offload the crypto operations and
free up the CPU, reducing latency and enabling scalable crypto
solutions. BlueField-2 “host-unaware” solutions may transmit and
receive data, while BlueField-2 acts as a bump-in-the-wire for crypto.
Securing
Workloads
BlueField-2 DPU accelerates connection tracking with its ASAP2
technology to enable stateful filtering on a per-connection basis.
Moreover, BlueField-2 includes a Titan IC regular expression (RXP)
acceleration engine supported by IDS/IPS tools to detect host
introspection and Application Recognition (AR) in real-time.

Accelerators
A consolidated compute and network solution based on DPU achieves
significant advantages over a centralized security server solution.
