Power Over Ethernet

Console over Ethernet

While console support is one of the most mundane portions of an operating system, console access is critical, especially during system debugging and for some low-level system-administration operations. As a result, densely packed servers and server appliances have either keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) cabling and KVM switches or serial ports, cabling, and concentrators. Further increases in the den...

GPUDirect RDMA over 40Gbps Ethernet

Comparing Ethernet & Soft RoCE over 1 Gigabit Ethernet

In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest in optimizing the high performance computing (HPC) solutions using advanced CPU and Interconnect technologies. recent trends in HPC systems have shown that future increases in performance can only be achieved through increases in system scale using a larger number of components, such as multi-cores and faster interconnects. RDMA is an emergi...

Adaptive Memory System over Ethernet

; LO G I N : VO L . 35, N O. 5 ■ ■ Discussion Panel The session chair, Ric Wheeler, started the discussion by asking each of the panelists how scalable they would like their systems. Peek replied that he worried both about system performance and human scalability. He wanted to avoid duplication of effort, such as multiple users creating parsing behavior for the same file types. Agrawal replied ...
