Introduction to High-Speed InfiniBand Interconnect

ziiu

What is InfiniBand? • Industry standard defined by the InfiniBand Trade Association– Originated in 1999
• InfiniBand™ specification defines an input/output architecture used to interconnect servers, communications infrastructure equipment, storage and embedded systems
• InfiniBand is a pervasive, low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnect which requires low processing overhead and is ideal to carry multiple traffic types (clustering, communications, storage, management) over a single connection.
• As a mature and field-proven technology, InfiniBand is used in thousands of data centers, high-performance compute clusters and embedded applications that scale from small scale to large scale
