InfiniBand Shines with Digital Content Creation
"RenderBender" Demonstration Showcases Performance Benefits Up to Three Times Faster With New Dual-Core Intel Processors and Mellanox 20Gb/s InfiniBand
At SIGGRAPH '06, ASUS Computer International, Autodesk, Intel Corporation, Ciara Technologies, Mellanox Technologies, NVIDIA Corporation, Pixar Animation Studios and Western Digital, led an industry demonstration of Ciara's "RenderBender" render farm, showcasing exceptional computing power and unmatched performance per-watt using industry standard building blocks including InfiniBand, multi-core, multi-threading and Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) technologies.
"This collaborative demonstration highlights the benefits that are driving so many organizations to make Mellanox 10 and 20Gb/s InfiniBand their interconnect of choice," said Thad Omura, Vice President of Product Marketing at Mellanox Technologies. "By dramatically increasing the compute power available to applications, as well as eliminating storage I/O bottlenecks, InfiniBand based clusters feed the ever-growing creative and visualization demands of the digital creation market."
Autodesk Introduces New Versions of its Visual Effects and Editing Systems
To address the need for greater connectivity, the new systems from Autdesk offer expanded interoperability and improved data management, including support for the Autodesk Wiretap 2007 application program interface. Wiretap enables remote project management and third-party file exchange by allowing platform- independent access to media and metadata in the Autodesk Stone file system. Digital artists can now take advantage of InfiniBand networking with throughput of 400 MB per second or more.
OpenFabrics Alliance - 2006 OpenFabrics Joint Developer's Conference, September 25, 2006
