چکیده
InfiniBand is a high-speed I/O interconnect technology devised by many leading industry companies. The goal is to ultimately replace onboard local interconnects with an interface that connects internal and, primarily, external devices for shared I/O at rates above 60 Gbps. Detailed here is the framework for the InfiniBand design, following the TCP/IP communications stack scheme.

متن کاملSurvey Report for High-Speed Network Impact on DDBMS
DBMS as an I/O-intensive software has been focused on how to efficiently make use of cache, main memory, and disk storage based on the observation of their bandwidths in the memory hierarchy. In the past decade, Distributed Database Management Systems (DDBMS) has introduced computer network as another kind of data I/O media. Traditionally, computer networks were put on a lower layer than disk s...

Key Findings infiniBand* Architectures – There are two types of InfiniBand architectures available today in the marketplace, the first being the traditional InfiniBand design, created as a channel interconnect for the data center. The latest InfiniBand architecture was built with HPC in mind. This enhanced HPC fabric offering is optimized for key interconnect performance factors, featuring MPI ...
متن کاملDissecting a Small InfiniBand Application Using the Verbs API
InfiniBand is a switched fabric interconnect. The InfiniBand specification does not define an API. However the OFED package, libibverbs, has become the default API on Linux and Solaris systems. Sparse documentation exists for the verbs API. The simplest InfiniBand program provided by OFED, ibv rc pingpong, is about 800 lines long. The semantics of using the verbs API for this program is not obv...
متن کاملDynamic Routing Balancing On InfiniBand Networks*
InfiniBand (IBA) technology was developed to address the performance issues associated with messages movement among Endnodes and computer I/O devices. However, InfiniBand is also widely deployed within high performance computing (HPC) clusters due to the high bandwidth and low message latency attributes it offers to inter-processor communication systems. An interconnection-network efficient des...
