MPI Releases Mpi/Pro For
InfiniBand Support For Linux Grids
MPI Software Technology Inc, a leading provider of high-performance
middleware products and related services, announces release of MPI/Pro for
InfiniBand for RedHat Linux. With the support of the InfiniBand interconnect,
MPI/Pro offers enhanced scalability, robustness, and performance, for Beowulf
and Grid clusters.
MPI/Pro for InfiniBand
MPI/Pro for InfiniBand offers the customer unprecedented performance. With
over 800 Mbytes/sec bandwidth and 8.7 microsecond latency, MPI/Pro for
InfiniBand performs above any other MPI implementation for InfiniBand. Thread
safety and other production-oriented features are offered with overlapping of
communication and computation support for large transfers. MPI/Pro regularly
beats freeware implementations by an average of 20-30% in performance on real
applications, using low-overhead mode.
MPI/Pro supports the Mellanox VAPI platforms used by TopSpin
Communications, Infiniswitch, JNI, InfiniCon Systems, and others. MPI/Pro
support for other Mellanox partners is planned.
"MPI/Pro on Mellanox 10Gbps (4x) InfiniBand-enabled systems provides x86
cluster users with the same professional environment that previously only
supercomputer users, paying huge premiums, could once enjoy," said Dana
Krelle, vice president of Marketing for Mellanox Technologies, Inc.
"The performance, robustness, and user-level delivered bandwidth of 6.4Gbps
deliver a level of price and performance unmatched by other HPCC solutions. We
look forward to continuing to work with MPI Software Technology in expanding
the solution to Itanium, Power, SPARC, and Opteron-based systems."
MSTI's MPI/Pro is the first commercial MPI product designed specifically
for InfiniBand technology.
"As one of the leading developers of commercial grade MPI middleware, MSTI
has long recognized the benefits that InfiniBand has to offer the HPC market,"
said Jennifer Skjellum, president and CEO of MSTI.
"The price and performance advantages of InfiniBand address several
critical needs among our customer base and, working in partnership with
several Infiniband providers, have created a version of MPI/Pro that enables
HPC users to quickly and easily migrate their applications to InfiniBand
fabrics. The MPI/Pro architecture is optimized to deliver exceptional
performance on InfiniBand, with robustness and support unavailable from any
freeware."
Pricing and availability for MPI/Pro for InfiniBand:
MPI/Pro for InfiniBand is currently available on Redhat Linux 7.2 and 7.3
with support for other operating systems to follow.
About MPI/Pro
