PathScale InfiniPath™ Infiniband™ Interconnect Achieves Record-Breaking Performance
|
Tuesday May 17 2005 @ 10:59PM EDT views: 370
The technology momentum continues at PathScale. This week it achieved unprecedented results on industry-standard benchmark tests with its new InfiniPath interconnect, a low-latency cluster interconnect for InfiniBand that plugs into standard HyperTransport technology-based HTX slots on AMD Opteron processor-based servers. InfiniPath has achieved an all time record-low MPI latency of 1.32 microseconds on the standard Ohio State MPI benchmarks. InfiniPath also achieved a peak unidirectional bandwidth of 952 MB/s and achieved half of this peak bandwidth at 385 byte messages (streaming), the best in the industry. Compared to other InfiniBand host channel adapters, InfiniPath delivers two to three times better latency at a comparable price. Organizations using Linux clusters now have a standards-compliant solution that offers both lower latency and higher bandwidth than proprietary interconnects developed in the past.

AMD, Tyan and SUSE Set LAN Server Throughput Record
|
Wednesday May 04 2005 @ 09:03PM EDT views: 393
A series of tests conducted in April at the Neal Nelson & Associates benchmarking laboratory measured a sustained data rate of 6.5 gigabits per second from a single 2U form factor server powered by AMD Opteron(tm) processors. One endurance test ran continuously for 48 hours and transferred over 1,000 terabits (1 petabit) of user data between 96 FTP client machines and the single FTP server. These data rates were achieved with the common IPV4 protocol and standard 1,500 byte packets.
