QLogic InfiniBand QDR HCAs

The QLogic InfiniBand QDR HCAs delivers industry-leading performance for a cluster interconnect

and allows organizations to gain maximum advantage and return from their investment in clustered

systems. As a result, organizations relying on clustered systems for critical computing tasks will

experience a significant increase in productivity.

The features of the QLogic HCAs include:

 Provides application scaling to 1000s of CPUs, increasing cluster efficiency and overall

productivity

 Accelerates application run times for faster time-to-solution

 Increases utilization of computing infrastructure and increases ROI of computing assets

 Exceptionally low point-to-point latency of <1 μs that scales with the size of the fabric essential

for High Performance Computing (HPC)

 For bandwidth-intensive applications, delivers 3400 MBps (unidirectional)

 30M messages/sec delivers high I/O transfers for clustering applications on four processes per

node (ppn)

 Comprehensive Linux® operating system support

 Advanced management capabilities with InfiniBand Fabric Suite (IFS) toolset

 Ideal for high volume server deployments, the Host Channel Adapter (HCA) consumes

3.8W/4.8W (single-/dual-port) of power (typical)
