What is the speed of InfiniBand?

What is the speed of InfiniBand?

Leveraging faster speeds and innovative In-Network Computing, Mellanox’s award-winning HDR (200Gb/s), EDR (100Gb/s) and FDR (56Gb/s) InfiniBand Adapters deliver the highest throughput and message rate in the industry.

What is HDR100?

Introducing HDR100 for Ultimate Scalability HDR100 allows data centers to utilize 1.6X fewer switches and 2X fewer cables than the competition to connect a 400-node system. Mellanox Quantum can also connect 128,000 nodes in a 3-level Fat Tree topology, which is 4.6X better than competitive proprietary products.

What is FDR in data center?

Forward Error Correction allows the InfiniBand devices to fix bit errors throughout the network and reduce the overhead for data retransmission. The new mechanism provides superior network reliability in particular for large-scale data centers, high performance computing and Web 2.0 centers.

Who owns InfiniBand?

In 2012, Intel acquired QLogic’s InfiniBand technology, leaving only one independent supplier.

What is InfiniBand FDR?

FDR InfiniBand™ (Fourteen Data Rate, 14Gb/s data rate per lane) is the next generation InfiniBand technology developed and specified by the InfiniBand® Trade Association (IBTA). FDR InfiniBand is supported by compliance and interoperability testing by both the IBTA and OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA).

What is IB cable?

InfiniBand (IB) is a computer networking communications standard used in high-performance computing that features very high throughput and very low latency. It is used for data interconnect both among and within computers. It is designed to be scalable and uses a switched fabric network topology.

What is FDR InfiniBand?

FDR InfiniBand™ (Fourteen Data Rate, 14Gb/s data rate per lane) is the next generation InfiniBand technology developed and specified by the InfiniBand® Trade Association (IBTA). This has been a significant driver of InfiniBand adoption to date and also indicates future market opportunity.

Is InfiniBand faster than Ethernet?

Higher performance, higher radix and low-latency solutions: Today, Ethernet switches offer connectivity of up to 400 Gbps. In contrast, InfiniBand HDR only offers connectivity of up to 200 Gbps and Fibre channel offers connectivity of up to 32 Gbps.
