compatibility. InfiniBand is the preferred choice for world leading
supercomputers, replacing lower performance or proprietary
interconnect options.
“We are proud to have our HDR InfiniBand solutions accelerate
supercomputers around the world, enhance research and discoveries,
and advancing Exascale programs,” said Gilad Shainer, senior vice
president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “InfiniBand
continues to gain market share, and be selected by many research,
educational and government institutes, weather and climate
facilities, and commercial organizations. The technology advantages
of InfiniBand make it the interconnect of choice for compute and
storage infrastructures.”
The Texas Advanced Computing Center’s (TACC) Frontera
supercomputer, funded by the National Science Foundation, is the
fastest supercomputer at any U.S. university and one of the most
powerful systems in the world. Ranked #5 on the June 2019 TOP500
Supercomputers list, Frontera utilizes HDR InfiniBand, and in
particular multiple 800-port HDR InfiniBand switches, to deliver
unprecedented computing power for science and engineering.
“HDR InfiniBand enabled us to build a world-leading, 8,000+
node, top 5 supercomputer that will serve our users’ needs for the
next several years,” said Dan Stanzione, TACC Executive Director.
“We appreciate the deep collaboration with Mellanox and are proud
to host one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. We look
forward to utilizing the advanced routing capabilities and the
In-Network Computing acceleration engines to enhance our users’
research activities and scientific discoveries.”
Located at the Mississippi State University High Performance
Computing Collaboratory, the new HDR InfiniBand-based Orion
supercomputer will accelerate the university research, educational
and service activities. Ranked #62 on the June 2019 TOP500 list,
the 1800-node supercomputer leverages the performance advantages of
HDR InfiniBand and its application acceleration engines to provide
new levels of application performance and scalability.
“HDR InfiniBand brings us leading performance and the ability to
build very scalable and cost efficient supercomputers utilizing its
high switch port density and configurable network topology,” said
Trey Breckenridge, Director for High Performance Computing at
Mississippi State University. “Over 16 years ago MSU became one of
the first adopters of the InfiniBand technology in HPC. We are
excited to continue that legacy by leveraging the latest InfiniBand
technology to enhance the capabilities of our newest HPC
system.”
CSC, the Finnish IT Center for Science, and the Finnish
Meteorological Institute Selected HDR 200G InfiniBand to accelerate
a multi-phase supercomputer program. The program will serve
researchers in Finnish universities and research institutes,
enhancing their research into climate science, renewable energy,
astrophysics, nanomaterials, and bioscience, among a wide range of
exploration activities. The first supercomputer is ranked #166 on
the TOP500 list.
“The new supercomputer will enable our researchers and
scientists to leverage the most efficient HPC and AI platform to
enhance their competitiveness for years to come,” said Pekka
Lehtovuori, Director of services for research at CSC. “The HDR
InfiniBand technology, and the Dragonfly+ network topology will
provide our users with leading performance and scalability while
optimizing our total cost of ownership.”
Cygnus is the first HDR InfiniBand supercomputer in Japan,
located in the Center for Computational Sciences at the University
of Tsukuba. Ranked #264 on the TOP500 list, Cygnus leverages HDR
InfiniBand to connect CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs together, enabling
accelerated research in the areas of astrophysics, particle
physics, material science, life, meteorology and artificial
intelligence.
“The Cygnus supercomputer utilizes the advantage of InfiniBand
to connect variety of compute elements, such as CPUs, GPUs, and
additional FPGAs, in the most effective and high-performance way,”
said Prof. Taisuke Boku, Director of Center for Computational
Sciences, University of Tsukuba. “Our multi-hybrid heterogeneous
compute platform with the HDR InfiniBand technology enables the
university to enhance our research activities, and to develop the
applications and tools for the Exascale era.”
The Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has
selected HDR InfiniBand for India’s national supercomputing
mission. The C-DAC HDR InfiniBand supercomputer advances India’s
research, technology, and product development capabilities.
“The Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), an
autonomous R&D institution under the Ministry of Electronics
and IT, Government of India with its focus in Advanced Computing is
uniquely positioned to establish dependable and secure Exascale
Ecosystem offering services in various domains. As our nation
embarks upon its most revolutionary phase of Digital
Transformation, C-DAC has committed itself to explore and engage in
the avant-garde visionary areas excelling beyond in the present
areas of research transforming human lives through technological
advancement,” said Dr Hemant Darbari, Director General, C-DAC.
“C-DAC is spearheading the build, design and develop approach of
National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) of the country. The first
Supercomputer under NSM Build Approach by C-DAC was launched by
Hon’ble Prime Minister at IIT (BHU) Varanasi, the solution
comprising of Mellanox HDR InfiniBand Interconnect selected through
a competitive evaluation process. C-DAC will build such solutions
across the country under NSM contributing to advancing India's
research, technology and product development capabilities. We have
been using Mellanox InfiniBand Interconnect to our satisfaction as
a part of our HPC solution deployed at C-DAC and various research
and technical institutions in the country and look forward to
continue working on developing our future supercomputers”
Mellanox will showcase the HDR InfiniBand solutions at the
