Performance Computing (HPC) using clusters of inexpensive, high-performing
processors is being applied to solve some of the most difficult
computational problems in the world. Not long ago, HPC techniques
were used only to tackle computationally challenging scientific
work in the universities and government agencies around the world.
Today, however, the benefits of HPC clusters in performance, scalability,
flexibility, and reliability are being realized in nearly all businesses
where rigorous analytics are being applied to simulate and model
products as well as scenarios.
HPC clusters provide businesses and research institutions
a scalable fabric of computers that can be allocated on an as-needed
basis to provide unprecedented computational throughput. Financial
institutions no longer have to wait weeks to understand the risks
associated with different portfolio scenarios, or how market variables
will affect their business. Automobile manufacturers can be assured,
prior to the completion of a car design, what the crash characteristics
will be, thereby saving costs associated with car redesign late
in the cycle as well as in crashed vehicles. These are just a few
examples of how businesses are able to take advantage of cost-effective
high performance computing implementations. |
| QLogic,
together with its partners, has been constructing high performance
interconnect fabric solutions for HPC clusters
in multiple markets for years. With extremely low latencies and
impressive bandwidth, QLogic fabrics allow high performance computing
environments to process greater workloads and scale to larger configurations
than ever before. Bandwidth of up to 20Gbps, and switching latencies
measured in microseconds means more effective applications. QLogic’s
HPC solutions are based upon InfiniBand, a common industry standard
providing open interoperability, and volume cost efficiencies while
supporting connectivity to existing networks.
QLogic is the leader in clustered interconnect solutions
for high performance computing. You can count on us to deliver high
quality, reliable, scalable solutions to your computational business
challenges combined with unparalleled service. |
