Apollo Switch Successfully Tested for Compatibility with NVIDIA H100 GPUs, Enhancing High-Performance AI and HPC Applications
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- XConn Technologies (XConn), the innovation leader in next-generation interconnect technology for the future of high-performance computing and AI applications, today announced that its PCIe Gen 5 switch, the XC51256 "Apollo," has successfully passed NVIDIA's rigorous NVQual PCIe review. This testing demonstrated successful compatibility of the XConn Apollo switch with NVIDIA H100 GPUs[i], ensuring seamless integration for customers in AI, machine learning and high performance computing (HPC) environments.
The NVQual tool is NVIDIA's standard for testing and validating the operational compatibility of products with its range of GPUs. The successful test review signifies that XConn's Apollo PCIe switch meets the high standards required for stability, performance and reliability when used with NVIDIA technology.
"Our Apollo switch is ideally suited for applications that require the flexibility of a high 256-lane count, enabling systems to scale without hitting performance bottlenecks," said Gerry Fan, CEO of XConn Technologies. "Passing the NVQual PCIe Review is not just a milestone for our Apollo switch but a testament to our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology that integrates smoothly with leading GPU manufacturers like NVIDIA. Now customers can be assured that they are equipped with a tested, proven solution that enhances the performance and reliability required to tackle the most demanding computing tasks."
The Apollo switch features unprecedented flexibility for PCIe devices, making it an ideal solution for building advanced AI systems. With 256 lanes, the Apollo offers the industry's lowest latency and power consumption per port, promoting significant cost savings and enhanced performance.
The test review validation by NVIDIA ensures that XConn's switches will be an integral part of the infrastructure for data-intensive workloads such as AI/ML training and genomics processing, where quick data movement and high reliability are critical.
XConn's PCIe Gen 5.0 switch, XC51256, offers dense lane configurations for applications heavily reliant on GPUs and accelerators, such as JBOG and JBOA processing setups. The Apollo switch family is also the industry's first to deliver hybrid CXL 2.0 and PCIe Gen 5 support in a single switch to further future-proof system designs.
The NVIDIA-validated XConn Apollo XC51256 switch is now available in production volume. For customer samples and/or Apollo reference boards, contact XConn at xconn-tech.com.
