Australia’s two biggest supercomputing facilities are joining forces with Singapore’s National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) to enable researchers to tap their combined capabilities.
QLogic has unveiled InfiniBand Fabric Suite (IFS) 6.0, a new version of its management software that automates network provisioning for high performance computing (HPC) clusters.
The challenge for data center operators selecting a high performance transport technology for their network is striking the ideal balance between acquisition, deployment and management costs, and support for high performance capabilities such as the remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol.
