Understanding NVIDIA’s Product Ecosystem and Naming Conventions
Compute Chips—V100, A100, H100, B200, etc. These terms are among the most commonly encountered in discussions about artificial intelligence. They refer to AI compute cards, specifically GPU models. NVIDIA releases a new GPU architecture every few years, each named after a renowned scientist. Cards based on a particular architecture typically
Differences Between BA, LA, and PA in Optical Transmission
Before diving into the specifics of BA, LA, and PA, it’s essential to understand the role of optical amplifiers in general. Optical amplifiers boost the power of optical signals without converting them to electrical signals, a process that enhances efficiency and reduces latency in fiber-optic communication systems. The primary types
What Is the Minimum Bend Radius of an Optical Fiber?
The minimum bend radius of an optical fiber is defined as the smallest radius to which the fiber can be bent while still maintaining normal transmission of optical signals. In practical terms, it is the minimum curvature radius that the fiber can endure without causing excessive signal loss, modal dispersion,
AEC Active Cable Testing Solution – Deciphering AEC Performance Step by Step
With the continuous expansion of data centers and the increasing demand for high-performance computing, the AEC (Active Electrical Cable) has emerged as an effective high-speed, short-distance transmission solution. Major cloud service providers—such as Google, AWS, and Microsoft—have already embarked on large-scale deployments of AEC, while hardware manufacturers like Nvidia have
Why Do 400G/100G Optical Ports in Switches Require Forward Error Correction (FEC)?
Introduction Optical networks require the use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) to guarantee reliable communication. Similar to how a reader may overlook a single spelling mistake in a text but struggle when errors accumulate, digital transmissions—encoded as sequences of “0”s and “1”s—are subject to inevitable signal attenuation and bit errors.
