InfiniBand Powers World’s Fastest Supercomputer

Today the InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) announced that the latest TOP500 List results that report the world's new fastest supercomputer, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Summit system, is accelerated by InfiniBand EDR. InfiniBand now powers the top three and four of the top five systems. The latest rankings underscore InfiniBand's continued position as the interconnect of choice for the industry's most demanding high performance computing (HPC) platforms. "As the makeup of the world's fastest supercomputers evolve to include more non-HPC systems such as cloud and hyperscale, the IBTA remains confident in the InfiniBand Architecture's flexibility to support the increasing variety of demanding deployments," said Bill Lee, IBTA Marketing Working Group Co-Chair. "As evident in the latest TOP500 List, the reinforced position of InfiniBand among the most powerful HPC systems and growing prominence of RoCE-capable non-HPC platforms demonstrate the technology's unparalleled performance capabilities across a diverse set of applications."
