Mellanox interconnect solution is
the key to providing world leading
performance, scalability and
efficiency, connecting the highest
number of nodes and CPU cores
within a single supercomputer.
Mellanox's InfiniBand solutions now
accelerate 45 Petascale systems,
nearly 50 percent of the world
Petascale-performance systems
on the TOP500 list, 1.6 times more
than the closest competitor. With the
release of the new smart InfiniBand
solutions, ConnectX-5 adapters
and Switch-IB2 switch systems,
and the expected release of 200G
HDR InfiniBand in 2017, Mellanox
InfiniBand-based Exascale
technology will continue to enable
supercomputing leadership across
applications and geographies.
“InfiniBand technology has been
accelerating multiple generations of
the world's fastest supercomputers
due to its performance, efficiency,
scalability, robustness, and
proven and standards-based
leadership. Mellanox enabled the
first Petaflop system in 2008, and
now enables the world's first 100
Petaflop supercomputer,” said
Eyal Waldman, president and CEO
of Mellanox Technologies. “The
world-wide demand for higher
performance and faster real-time
data analytics, requires smart
interconnect solutions that deliver
high data speeds, as well as
open, standards-based technology
to ensure backward and future
compatibility for our applications.
Mellanox InfiniBand and Ethernet
solutions deliver data speeds from
10 to 100Gb/s, offloading the CPU
to enable the highest data center
return on investment and lowest
cost of ownership. As we plan to
introduce 200 and 400Gb/s solutions
next year, Mellanox will continue
to enable faster and more efficient
high-performance computing, cloud,
web2.0, database, deep learning
and storage platforms.”.
The TOP500 supercomputer list
has evolved to include both high-
performance computing systems
as well as cloud and Web2.0
Hyperscale infrastructures, mainly
from the Asia-Pacific region. For
the high-performance computing
systems on the list, InfiniBand
continues to demonstrate its
technology leadership accelerating
70 percent of the systems. Overall,
InfiniBand connects 41.2 percent of
the TOP500 systems.
Mellanox's interconnect offloading
architecture enables the most
efficient system on the TOP500
list. Offloading architecture
becomes more critical with the
usage of accelerators and higher
scale. InfiniBand enabled 53%
higher system efficiency, higher
system utilization and lower cost
compared to Omni-Path. Additional
comparisons demonstrated an
average of 45% higher system
performance at 25% lower cost per
application performance in a recent
HPC CPAR (Cost per Application
Rating) benchmark review.
