Sandia National Labs buys InfiniBand fabric equipment.Paceline Systems Corporation has announced that Sandia National Laboratories Sandia National Laboratories, which is managed and operated by the Sandia Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation), is a major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratory with two locations, one in Albuquerque, New has purchased a complete 4x InfiniBand fabric from Paceline. The Paceline products will be deployed in the Laboratories' InfiniBand-based computational cluster testbed. Sandia plans to immediately begin testing InfiniBand with the Message Passing Interface (communications, protocol) Message Passing Interface - A de facto standard for communication among the nodes running a parallel program on a distributed memory system. MPI is a library of routines that can be called from Fortran and programs. (MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface ), an interface that is widely used in the high performance computing community and will enable a large segment of applications to leverage the benefits of InfiniBand. "Sandia National Laboratories is interested in InfiniBand because it offers 10 Gbps bandwidth," said Curt Janssen, team leader, Sandia National Laboratories. "We are constantly looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. cost-effective technologies that increase the performance of our computational clusters. We plan to use Paceline's products as a part of our InfiniBand test program in cooperative development projects with Ohio State University Ohio State University, main campus at Columbus; land-grant and state supported; coeducational; chartered 1870, opened 1873 as Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College, renamed 1878. There are also campuses at Lima, Mansfield, Marion, and Newark. , Ohio Supercomputer Center The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) is a high performance computing and networking center headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, United States (OSC-Columbus) with a division in Springfield, Ohio (OSC-Springfield). It was stablished in 1987 by the Ohio Board of Regents. , MSTI MSTI Main Science and Technology Indicators MSTI Miniature Sensor Technology Integration MSTI Miniature Seeker Technology Integration MSTI Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness (blog) MSTI Miniature Space Technology Investigation and Argonne National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory, research center, based in Argonne, Ill., 27 mi (43 km) SW of downtown Chicago, with other facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, 50 mi (80 km) W of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Founded in 1946 by the U.S. ." InfiniBand is an open, cost-effective Input/Output architecture developed by a consortium that includes the world's largest computer companies. InfiniBand interconnects servers and peripheral devices at speeds of up to 30 Gbps using a high performance fabric. InfiniBand delivers significantly higher bandwidth, lower processor overhead and reduced latency compared to existing I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output architectures and networking technologies. It enhances the return on technology investments by enabling distributed computing applications and clustered database systems to solve larger problems and process more data with fewer compute resources. Paceline's family of intelligent InfiniBand fabric solutions deliver full non-blocking throughput at 4x link speeds to meet the needs of the most demanding cluster computing environments. Paceline's intelligent switching systems are at the heart of the fabric. They feature embedded Apex Software, which provides advanced services and makes InfiniBand fabrics scalable, reliable, easy to deploy and easy to use. Paceline's fabric solutions are based on a non-blocking architecture and deliver end-to-end support for the Linux platform. "Sandia National Laboratories is a prestigious customer for Paceline and we are very pleased that they chose our high performance InfiniBand fabric solutions," said Barry Kallander, Paceline president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "This is one of several significant orders Paceline has received and we look forward to continued leadership in delivering intelligent 4x InfiniBand fabric solutions." Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. With main facilities in Albuquerque, N.M., and Livermore, Calif., Sandia has major research and development responsibilities in national security, energy and environmental technologies, and economic competitiveness. Paceline Systems Corporation, based in Acton, Mass., is the leader in intelligent InfiniBand fabric solutions for enterprise data centers and high performance computing environments. The company's InfiniBand product family provides an end-to-end solution to data center connectivity challenges and dramatically improves price/performance while reducing operations costs. Paceline's powerful switching systems feature embedded Apex Software, which delivers advanced services and makes InfiniBand fabrics easy to deploy and easy to use. Paceline's products are designed to meet the stringent reliability, scalability and interoperability requirements found in large enterprise environments. |
