InfiniBand Architecture (IB) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GE)
technologies are generating a lot of excitement towards building next
generation High-End Computing (HEC) systems. This tutorial will
provide an overview of these emerging technologies, their offered
features, their current market standing, and their suitability for
prime-time HEC. It will start with a brief overview of IB, 10GE, and
their architectural features. An overview of the emerging OpenFabrics
stack which encapsulates both IB and 10GE in a unified manner will be
presented. IB and 10GE hardware/software solutions and the market
trends will be highlighted. Finally, sample performance numbers
highlighting the performance these technologies can achieve in
different environments such as MPI, Sockets, Parallel File Systems and
Multi-tier Datacenters, will be shown.
