Just when I thought it was safe to shift away from my recent pre-occupation with InfiniBand (see the last three newsletters), it turns out that there are still more sharks swimming in the waters and ...

The InfiniBand Architecture (IBA) is a superset of the Virtual Interface Architecture. It was originally devised to connect everything within a computing system and thus replace Ethernet, Fibre ...

When a physical server is virtualized, it results in multiple logical servers. Each logical server comprises a virtual machine (VM) that works over a virtualization intermediary software layer, also ...

If you want to get a microcosmic view of the epic battle between Ethernet and InfiniBand (which also includes Omni-Path no matter how much Intel protests) as they relate to high performance computing ...

Microsoft, one of the early InfiniBand backers, has reversed a plan to build support for the high-speed networking technology into its next server version of Windows. Microsoft believes that most ...

The news is grim--or is it? Semiconductor giant Intel, which had planned to develop chips to enable InfiniBand, decided to apply its development budget elsewhere. Is this the beginning of the end for ...
