The handwriting has been on the wall for some time now, but Intel has quietly dropped its 200 Gb/sec Omni-Path networking from its roadmaps and will be using other technology for interconnects going forward. …
The related but distinct HPC and AI markets gave Nvidia a taste for building systems, and it looks like the company wants to control more of the hardware and systems software stack than it currently does given that it is willing to shell out $6.9 billion – just about all of the cash it has on hand – to acquire high-end networking equipment provider and long-time partner Mellanox Technologies. …
The need to host, process, and transmit more data, in less time and more securely, is putting huge strain on existing datacenter network, server, and storage architectures, with the demands of specific applications like artificial intelligence, machine learning, image recognition, and data analytics exacerbating the problem. …
There hardly seems to be a month that doesn’t go by without a different IT supplier being rumored to want to acquire network device provider Mellanox Technologies, which has an intense focus on the high end, scale out, low latency segment of the datacenter switching market. …
Having multiple related but distinct product lines turns a company into an economic engine that runs a lot smoother than an it would run with a single cylinder. …
Mellanox got its start as one of the several suppliers of ASICs for the low latency InfiniBand protocol that was originally conceived as a kind of universal fabric to connect all devices in the datacenter. …
If you really want to know what is going on in the HPC market, you have to be careful about using the Top 500 rankings of “supercomputers” as a yardstick. …
The irony, of course, is that there is never a summit when it comes to supercomputing. …
It is hard to make a profit selling hardware to supercomputing centers, hyperscalers, and cloud builders, all of whom demand the highest performance at the lowest prices. …
