SEATTLE, Nov. 15 -- Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., a leading supplier of end-to-end connectivity solutions for datacenter servers and storage systems, today announced that its FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 40GbE I/O solutions, which lead the industry with unprecedented bandwidth (>12GB/s) and latency (<0.7us) performance with PCI Express 3.0 support, now accelerate multiple, large-scale system deployments. Mellanox I/O solutions deliver the highest level of application performance while reducing system power consumption, making it the preferred I/O solution for high-performance computing, financial services, database, Web 2.0, virtualized datacenters and cloud computing centers worldwide.
"As we move down the path to exascale, interconnect performance becomes increasingly more important to achieving efficient performance for HPC server and storage systems," said Rajeeb Hazra, general manager of Intel Technical Computing Group. "The introduction of PCI Express 3.0 in Mellanox's FDR InfiniBand solution and the Intel Xeon Processor E5 Family provides the bandwidth and latency improvements to deliver greater performance for our customers' wide-range of workloads."
"These impressive performance results reinforce Mellanox's position as the leading industry provider of performance-based I/O solutions," said Eyal Waldman, chairman, president and CEO of Mellanox Technologies. "Mellanox's FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 40GbE I/O solutions are the industry's only solutions that can perfectly match the performance potential of PCI Express 3.0-based server and storage systems. End-users can expect unprecedented application and job runtime benefits, as well as reduced infrastructure and power costs; an unbeatable combination."

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
