High-performance computing encompasses advanced computation over parallel processing, enabling faster execution of highly compute intensive tasks such as machine learning, climate research, molecular modeling, physical simulations, cryptanalysis, geophysical modeling, automotive and aerospace design, financial modeling, virtual reality and more. High-performance systems requires the most efficient compute and storage platforms and key performance metrics include the performance, efficiency, and scalability of the interconnect technology. Efficient high-performance computing systems require high-bandwidth, low-latency connections, both between thousands of multi-processor nodes and to high-speed shared storage systems.
By providing low-latency, high-bandwidth, high message rate, transport offload to facilitate extremely low CPU overhead, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), and advanced communications and computations offloads, Mellanox interconnect solutions are the most deployed high-speed interconnect for large-scale simulations, replacing proprietary or low-performance solutions.
