SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Oct. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 2024 OCP Global
Summit – Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a
leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today
announced the development of FBNIC, a custom 5nm network interface
controller (NIC) ASIC in collaboration with Meta to
meet the company's infrastructure and use case requirements. The
FBNIC board design will also be contributed by Marvell to the Open
Compute Project (OCP) community.
FBNIC combines a customized network controller designed by
Marvell and Meta, a co-designed board, and Meta's
ASIC, firmware and software. This custom design
delivers innovative capabilities, optimizes performance, increases
efficiencies, and reduces the average time needed to resolve
potential network and server issues.
"The future of large-scale, data center computing will
increasingly revolve around optimizing semiconductors and other
components for specific applications and cloud infrastructure
architectures," said Raghib Hussain,
President of Products and Technologies at Marvell. "It's been
exciting to partner with Meta on developing their custom FBNIC on
our industry-leading 5nm accelerated infrastructure silicon
platform. We look forward to the OCP community leveraging the board
design for future innovations."
Key FBNIC Features
- Ethernet network interface support for 4x100GE, 2x100GE,
4x50GE, 2x50GE, 4x25GE and 2x25GE with SerDes support for up to 56G
PAM4 per lane.
- Multi-host PCIe interface supports four independent Gen5 x4
ports.
- Complete firmware control with access to all hardware internals
enabling the ability to deliver innovative customized capabilities
and reduce mean time to resolve potential issues.
- Compliant with OCP NIC 3.0, Version 1.2.0 Design Specification
and will be released to the OCP community.
