FINAL NOTICE Harvard HPC Seminar Series - open to all
*To Infiniband and Beyond: High Speed Interconnects in Commodity HPC Clusters*
Theresa Kaltz, PhD, High Performance Technical Computing, FAS, Harvard 1-2pm, Thursday December 3rd, 2009 Harvard University Science Center, Room 110, 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge MA /Abstract:/ Due to the wide availability and low cost of high speed networking, commodity clusters have become the de facto standard for building high performance parallel computing systems. This talk will introduce the leading technology for high speed interconnects called Infiniband and compare its deployment and performance to Ethernet. In addition, some emerging interconnect technologies and trends in cluster networking will be discussed. /Bio:/ Teresa Kaltz is a Senior Research Associate in FAS IT Research Computing. She has a PhD in aerospace engineering and a BS in chemical engineering. After graduation she worked at Lawrence Berkley Lab and then spent eight years in the High Performance Computing division at Hewlett Packard. She has expertise in parallel programming, performance analysis and high speed cluster networks. She joined Harvard in September of 2008
