InfiniBand and Ethernet Network Fabric Solutions for Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS) 2003

CHALLENGE

High-performance computing (HPC) clusters of industry-standard servers have emerged in recent years as the preferred method for

implementing a supercomputer for computationally intensive tasks. Enterprises, research institutions, and governments use HPC

clusters for a variety of purposes ranging from financial risk analysis to computational fluid dynamics, to weather and climate modeling,

to analyzing underground oil and gas reservoirs. The applications and uses of HPC clusters are quite varied. The requirements of

the underlying network are also quite varied. Customers are faced with a number of challenges. Among these are:

●

What network interconnect offers the best performance or best value for my Microsoft Windows CCS application?

●

What network solutions, products, and topologies are validated for Microsoft Windows CCS?

SOLUTION

Cisco Systems

uniquely manufactures and supports multiple interconnects for HPC clusters, providing enterprises with a superior level

of flexibility in terms of price, latency, and performance. A Gigabit Ethernet interconnect using a Cisco Catalyst

switch is quite suitable

for loosely coupled, highly parallelized and parametric applications (Figure 1). Tightly coupled applications with high inter-nodal traffic

rates are typically bandwidth- and latency-sensitive. These applications will benefit from the low latency, high bandwidth, and native

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) capabilities of InfiniBand using the Cisco SFS 7000 Series InfiniBand Server Switches.

Customers can be assured of an appropriate interconnect solution for their HPC cluster application requirements.
