Development of multirail feature in MPC for BXI interconnect

Authors: Gilles Moreau (CEA), Hugo Taboada (CEA), Marc Pérache (CEA) 1  Introduction Context Nowadays, HPC applications scale to several hundred nodes, and MPI has become the de facto standard for internode communication. It abstracts Point-to-Point (P2P) communication to the application developer while taking advantage of the underlying network. With ever increasing demand for bandwidth-oriented communications, […]

Application-defined, high-performance packet processing with sPIN

Salvatore Di Girolamo, ETH Zürich Need for network acceleration Datacenter and HPC systems are growing at unprecedented speeds. The Frontier supercomputer has been recently deployed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tenn, making it the first exascale system in the United States. At their core, these systems are a collection of compute […]
