Title:

Superclusters - Superior Performance Using SCI

Abstract:

The talk will discuss SCI (Scaleable Coherent Interface), the high speed interconnect standard that time forgot. Developed over ten years ago, SCI is only now finding the markets its remarkable performance deserves. This is especially true in the HPC supercluster environment where the high bandwidth and low latencies of SCI makes it ideal for connecting clusters of PC servers for HPC supercluster performance. Learn how the performance of Scali's SCI-based MPI and cluster management software combined with Dolphin^s 2D or 3D SCI card assemblies creates superclusters that can equal or surpass performance on most of the present supercomputers.
