They will also be able to work across software-hardware boundaries better than they could as two separate entities, Mellanox’ VP software architecture Dror Goldenberg said, in a blog post.Nvidia and Mellanox have collaborated numerous times, notably on both Summit and Sierra, the world’s two fastest supercomputers which are both owned by the US Department of Energy.
Nvidia announced its intention to acquire Mellanox in March 2019 for $6.9 billion, and it was said at the time to have outbid key rival Intel for Mellanox’ data center interconnect technology. Nvidia and Mellanox technologies are in more than 250 of the world’s top 500 supercomputers, according to Nvidia, and the two companies count every major cloud service provider and computer maker amongst their customers.The combination of the two companies will mean a more complete solution can be provided to data center customers and allow Nvidia to better compete against its main rival in this market, Intel.The deal is expected to close on or around April 27, 2020.Mellanox has already licensed Titan IC’s RXP technology to incorporate into its BlueField family of Smart NICs and I/O processing units.

This RXP acceleration engine does high-speed pattern matching, real-time internet traffic inspection and detects strings, keywords and malware while freeing up CPU cores and increasing efficiency. Tech giants Alibaba and Baidu are Mellanox’s major customers. GPUs’ SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) structure is particularly suited to accelerating modern workloads related to AI and scientific computing where the performance requirements are very demanding.The waiting period for US antitrust laws on the Nvidia-Mellanox deal has since expired, and antitrust approval has already been granted by the European Commission and Mexico. The shift from physical to digital will further accelerate cloud computing use,” Huang added.Together, Mellanox says it and Titan IC will be able to invest in analytics and security acceleration technologies, and eliminate boundaries between IP subsystems on their chip which can prevent the chip’s optimization.
NVIDIA today announced that it has received approval from all necessary authorities to proceed with its planned acquisition of Mellanox, as announced in March 2019.
