PathScale and Voltaire Sign Agreement on High Performance Grid Backbone [LWN.net]

PathScale has announced a partnership with Voltair involving InfiniBand cluster connect adapters. "One of the first Voltaire customers to receive the PathScale adapter is the Sandia National Laboratory's research facility in Livermore, CA. According to Dr. Matt Leininger, computational scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, "We see Voltaire's collaboration with PathScale as a very positive development that will make it easier for us to build extremely large InfiniBand-based clusters based on the OpenIB software stack. The ability to couple the PathScale InfiniBand adapter to Hypertransport has some significant advantages in terms of latency and effective bandwidth for many of our complex applications such as structure mechanics, computational fluid dynamics and combustion codes."
