“HPC Interconnects : Topologies and Performance”
Dr Daniel Kidger, Bull UK.
Most Modern HPC systems are made from relatively standard high-end servers with Intel or AMD processors. What transforms them into a supercomputer is the interconnect. This allows thousands of individual cores work together on the same equations. This talk will cover the different interconnects that have been used in the past and present and looks at what the future holds. It covers different topologies from crossbar, though fat-tree and hypercubes to flattened butterflies (whatever that might be?).
