NASA Ames Research Center Opts for Mellanox InfiniBand Scalable HPC

With HPE SGI 8600 liquid cooled platform

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. announced that NASA Ames Research Center has selected its EDR IB solutions and the HPE SGI 8600 liquid cooled platform to expand their Electra super-computing cluster with next generation interconnect and processor technology.

This system expansion will leverage Mellanox In-Network Computing technology that enables smart offloading, to achieve high level of applications performance and efficiency. The system will utilize the HPE Enhanced Hypercube system topology which is the backbone of the NASA Ames, Pleiades supercomputer.

The addition to the Electra supercomputer will be installed in the second part of 2017, and is expected to continue to scale in the future.

We have been working with NASA for many years, to provide the key interconnect solutions for NASA super-computing platforms,” said Gilad Shainer, VP marketing, Mellanox. “By leveraging 100Gb EDR IB and the multiple In-Network Computing engines, such as MPI offloads, RDMA and more, NASA will be able to maximize their data center ROI.

HPE is excited to have partnered with Mellanox to deploy NASA Ames’s next generation HPC cluster based on HPE’s new SGI 8600 liquid cooled platform with the Mellanox ConnectX-5 interconnect,” said Craig Yamasaki, director product management, HPC and AI, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP. “HPE has coupled its Hypercube topology with the new ConnectX-5 interface to enable system expansion without the use of external switches while delivering cost savings and performance improvements.

In-Network Computing capabilities incorporated in ConnectX-5 IB adapters and Switch-IB2 IB switches enable advance data processing and real time analytics, which result in applications performance and scalability.
