HPE Slingshot Shows How ‘Ethernet Plus’ Outperforms Proprietary Interconnects
Twice a year, the Top500 project takes first place The most powerful supercomputers in the world.. This challenge for geeks pushes the boundaries of what a computer can really do.
It’s easy to look at the upper echelons of the charts to see which brand of GPU is powering some of the most intensive computing workloads ever known to man. But there is one often overlooked component that is the true performance driver behind these impressive feats of engineering.
Interconnectivity, bringing together the different GPUs, is the true wonder of supercomputing. Capable of moving workloads from one chip to another at incredible speeds, while ensuring data…
