Abstract

Clusters with commodity multi-core processors and commodity networking technologies are providing cost-effective solutions for building next generation high-end systems including HPC clusters, servers, parallel file systems and multi-tier data-centers. The talk focus on two emerging networking technologies (InfiniBand and 10 GE/iWARP) and their associated protocols for designing such systems. In this talk, we critically examine the current and future trends of these technologies and their applicability for designing next generation petascale clusters. The talk start with the motivations behind these technologies and then focus on their architectural aspects and applicability to SAN, LAN and WAN-based clusters. Designing next generation clusters with high performance, scalability and RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) capabilities by using these technologies will be examined. Current and future trends of InfiniBand and iWARP products was highlighted. The emerging OpenFabrics software stack, focusing both these technologies in an integrated manner, was presented. Finally, a set of case studies in designing various clusters with these networking technologies was presented to outline the associated opportunities and challenges.

设计InfiniBand和10GE/iWARP的下一代集群:机遇与挑战

具有商用多核处理器和商用网络技术的集群为构建下一代高端系统(包括HPC集群、服务器、并行文件系统和多层数据中心)提供了经济高效的解决方案。本次演讲的重点是两种新兴的网络技术(InfiniBand和10ge /iWARP)及其设计此类系统的相关协议。在这次演讲中，我们将严格审查这些技术的当前和未来趋势，以及它们在设计下一代千兆级集群时的适用性。演讲从这些技术背后的动机开始，然后集中讨论它们的架构方面和对基于SAN、LAN和wan的集群的适用性。通过使用这些技术来设计具有高性能、可伸缩性和RAS(可靠性、可用性和可服务性)能力的下一代集群将被研究。强调了InfiniBand和iWARP产品的当前和未来趋势。介绍了新兴的OpenFabrics软件栈，以集成的方式集中了这两种技术。最后，介绍了一组使用这些网络技术设计各种集群的案例研究，概述了相关的机遇和挑战。
