The programming model for the InfiniBand transport assumes that an application accesses at least one
Send and one Receive queue to initiate the I/O. The transport layer supports four types of data
transfers for the Send queue:
Send/Receive – Typical operation where one node sends a message and another node receives the
message
RDMA Write – Operation where one node writes data directly into a memory buffer of a remote
node
RDMA Read – Operation where one node reads data directly from a memory buffer of a remote
node
RDMA Atomics – Allows atomic update of a memory location from an HCA perspective.
The only operation available for the receive queue is Post Receive Buffer transfer, which identifies a
buffer that a client may send to or receive from using a Send or RDMA Write data transfer.
Scale-out clusters built on InfiniBand and HP technology
In the past few years, scale-out cluster computing has become a mainstream architecture for high
performance computing. As the technology becomes more mature and affordable, scale-out clusters
are being adopted in a broader market beyond HPC. HP Oracle Database Machine is one example.
The trend in this industry is toward using space- and power-efficient blade systems as building blocks
for scale-out solutions . HP BladeSystem c-Class solutions offer significant savings in power, cooling,
and data center floor space without compromising performance.
The c7000 enclosure supports up to 16 half-height or 8 full-height server blades and includes rear
mounting bays for management and interconnect components. Each server blade includes mezzanine
connectors for I/O options such as the HP 4x QDR IB mezzanine card. HP c-Class server blades are
available in two form-factors and server node configurations to meet various density goals. To meet
extreme density goals, the half-height HP BL2x220c server blade includes two server nodes. Each
node can support two quad-core Intel Xeon 5400-series processors and a slot for a mezzanine board,
providing a maximum of 32 nodes and 256 cores per c7000 enclosure.
NOTE:
The DDR HCA mezzanine card should be installed in a PCIe x8
connector for maximum InfiniBand performance. The QDR HCA
mezzanine card is supported on the ProLiant G6 blades with PCIe
x8 Gen 2 mezzanine connectors
Figure 9 shows a full bandwidth fat-tree configuration of HP BladeSystem c-Class components
providing 576 nodes in a cluster. Each c7000 enclosure includes an HP 4x QDR IB Switch, which
provides 16 downlinks for server blade connection and 16 QSFP uplinks for fabric connectivity.
Spine-level fabric connectivity is provided through sixteen 36-port Voltaire 4036 QDR InfiniBand
Switches
. The Voltaire 36-port switches provide 40-Gbps (per port) performance and offer fabric
2
management capabilities.
