In this video, John West — Director, DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program presents: Global HPC — What is Missing? Recorded March 26, 2012 at the National HPCC Conference in Newport, RI.
The state of quantum is full of promise and in a constant flux, so much so that it’s hard to keep track of. In this webinar, we have Julliette Peyronnet of French ….
Today, every high-performance computing (HPC) workload running globally faces the same crippling issue: Congestion in the network.
Congestion can delay workload completion times for crucial scientific and enterprise workloads, making HPC systems unpredictable and leaving high-cost cluster resources waiting for delayed data to arrive. Despite various brute-force attempts to resolve the congestion issue, the problem has persisted. Until now.
In this paper, Matthew Williams, CTO at Rockport Networks, explains how recent innovations in networking technologies have led to a new network architecture that targets the root causes of HPC network congestion, specifically:
– Why today’s network architectures are not a sustainable approach to HPC workloads
– How HPC workload congestion and latency issues are directly tied to the network architecture
– Why a direct interconnect network architecture minimizes congestion and tail latency
[…] John West, the Director for Department of Defense’s (DOD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program, kicked off the event discussing “The Missing Middle.” He postulated on how, “given this unalloyed good that is HPC, how come everybody isn’t using it?” You can watch his entire message here.
