Visit Mellanox (Booth#D25-D28) at the International Supercomputing Conference, June 28-30, Dresden Germany
The International Supercomputer Conference (ISC) - the leading supercomputing event in Europe - constitutes the premier venue for gaining an international perspective in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC).
Mellanox's booth is showcasing the following technology demonstrations:
- InfiniBand switch demonstrations from Cisco Systems, Inc., SilverStorm Technologies and Voltaire
- Monte Carlo simulations running on three nodes with Dual-Core AMD processors, and Microsoft CCS
Come see Mellanox speak at ISC:
- Michael Kagan, Mellanox's VP of Architecture, will present on the latest happenings with InfiniBand during the Hot Seat Session on Thursday, June 29th
- Novell and Mellanox will present a special session on Thursday, June 29th, at 10:00 AM in Conference Room #5:
Novell's real-time offering (CRTE powered by SUSE) together with enhancements to the Open Fabrics InfiniBand stack (Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution) expands the realm of deterministic computing and reliable connectivity from traditional configurations to clusters and grids of compute and storage nodes. Novell is integrating InfiniBand enabled network and storage stacks with real-time operating system capabilities to provide QoS for some of the world's most demanding environments.
JPMorgan Reveals "InfiniBand Accelerated" Compute Backbone in WallStreet&Technology
...JPMorgan has been another grid technology trailblazer, having begun its Compute Backbone project in 2002. In its current format, JPMorgan uses blade servers linked by InfiniBand, a technology similar to Ethernet that provides a higher-speed connection fabric among servers so that data can be shared quickly, reliably and with high levels of security, says Ty Panagoplos, program director for Compute Backbone.
The infrastructure now is installed in New York, London and Asia, and supports 14 applications across multiple lines of business, including all eight of JPMorgan's global risk management systems, spanning credit risk and trading, foreign exchange options, global treasury, equity derivative trading and risk management, and prop desk analytics, Panagoplos says. "Anything that needs heavy algorithms or heavy computations we've found to be successful candidates," he adds.
Meanwhile, the firm has seen hardware utilization go from an average of 15 percent of capacity before the project to 70 percent by the end of 2005, combined with shrinking unit costs, Panagoplos says. As a result, the service charge to the business lines -- which is calculated on a per month, per CPU basis -- has been cut in half. In hard dollars, this means that the businesses get billed tens of millions of dollars less this year for their infrastructure usage, Panagoplos notes.
And because the businesses' compute costs are lower, and they have more and faster processors and more data available, with greater scaling flexibility, the size and shape and styles of the problems they are able to take on are very different, says Peter Krey, head of research and engineering. "Because of that, we are starting to challenge the business by saying, 'If you could triple the size of your compute infrastructure for the same cost, what would you do with it?'"...
Mellanox and Voltaire InfiniBand Solution Power the HP BladeSystem c-Class
The powerful combination of Mellanox InfiniBand HCA silicon, HCA adapter cards, InfiniBand switch silicon and switch blades, and Voltaire’s software bring unprecedented performance and scalability to HP’s newest blade solution. Voltaire’s multi-service Grid Director™ switches provide the high performance switching and storage connectivity for the HP BladeSystem over InfiniBand. As members of HP’s BladeSystem Solution Builder program, Mellanox and Voltaire have collaborated with HP to produce this advanced solution.
“The share of HP cluster and grid solutions that use InfiniBand continues to grow at a rapid pace,” said Paul Miller, vice president, marketing, Industry Standard Servers and BladeSystem Division, HP. “By including InfiniBand from market leaders Mellanox and Voltaire into BladeSystem c-Class, our customers will benefit from a high performance, yet affordable, bladed solution that will scale with their data centers.”
(view June 14th Press Release)
Further details about the InfiniBand features and capabilities for HP BladeSystem c-Class will be announced during the International Supercomputing Conference in Dresden, Germany from June 27–30, 2006.
OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution 1.0 Released
Through its collaboration with the OpenFabrics community, support for multiple industry-standard interfaces that enable off-the-shelf applications to work with InfiniBand, and support for popular OS and CPU platforms, Mellanox has created a large, interoperable software ecosystem that benefits the HPC and EDC markets.
InfiniBand in Embedded Applications
InfiniBand is emerging as the interconnect for embedded applications requiring high throughput of content-rich data. The exceptional performance delivered by InfiniBand is driving its adoption in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and data centers, which makes the technology more accessible for embedded applications. We describe where InfiniBand can be used as an embedded interconnect and provide examples of where it has been applied. (Download PDF)
