InfiniBand interconnects---Building highly scalable and reliable InfiniBand clusters

Abstract

InfiniBand has become the defacto standard HPC cluster interconnect due to its unsurpassed bandwidth and extreme low latency. Nevertheless, achieving reliable application performance that scales to 1000+ processor clusters is never easy. This session will discuss what QLogic has learned about maximizing performance with its InfiniPath InfiniBand interconnect and its PathScale compilers.
