Ethernet versus Infiniband

Storage Performance over Fast Ethernet, Giga Ethernet, Giga Ethernet TOE and InfiniBand

The performance of network storage systems is often limited by overheads in the I/O path, such as memory copying, network access costs, and protocol overhead. As a result, I/O remains the bottleneck for high-performance data-intensive applications. This paper examines different communication transports and their effect on network storage system’s performance. To accomplish the proposed study, w...

Tutorial: Infiniband and 10-Gigabit Ethernet for Dummies

InfiniBand Architecture (IB) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) technologies are generating significant excitement towards building next generation High-End Computing (HEC) systems. This tutorial will provide an overview of these emerging technologies, their offered features, their current market standing, and their suitability for prime-time HEC. It will start with a brief overview of IB, 10GE, an...

Analytical Performance Evaluation of IPv6 and IPv4 Over 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand using IPoIB

IPv6 is the response to the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It was defined almost twenty years ago by the IETF as a replacement of IPv4, and little by little, it is becoming more preponderant as the Internet protocol. The growth of Internet has led to the development of high performance networks. On one hand, Ethernet has evolved significantly and today it is common to find 10 Gigabit Ethernet netw...
