SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE FOR LOW-LATENCY, HIGH-THROUGHPUT CLUSTERS RUNNING WINDOWS® HPC SERVER 2008
Windows HPC Server 2008 and Mellanox InfiniBand interconnect adapters deliver maximum performance and scalability for HPC
High-performance computing (HPC) applications are increasing the demand for CPU processing performance and the amount of data being transferred between subsystems. Off-loading data movement to input/output (I/O) devices increases the amount of CPU resources available for these applications, boosting the system’s performance.
To shorten solution times, HPC clusters require high-performance interconnect technology to provide high-throughput with low-latency, and direct data transfer (CPU off-load) between compute nodes.
Windows HPC Server 2008 is a highly productive platform for deploying, developing, and accessing dedicated HPC clusters. Windows HPC Server 2008 leverages high-speed interconnects by using NetworkDirect–Microsoft’s new Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) interface for high-speed, low-latency InfiniBand networks.
