- 10GbE Dramatically Improves HPC Performance vs. 1GbE
Solarflare analysis reveals that applications can benefit from a 10x increase in network bandwidth, improved latency and power efficiency by upgrading to 10G Ethernet. This improvement can be realized in High Performance Computing, and other performance-critical applications. - Delivering HPC Applications with Juniper Networks and Solarflare Communications
Working together, Juniper Networks and Solarflare Communications offer high-performance, low latency products that deliver a complete end-to-end Ethernet solution for the most demanding HPC environments. - Introduction to OpenOnload—Building Application Transparency and Protocol Conformance into Application Acceleration Middleware
Solarflare’s OpenOnload application acceleration middleware is an accelerated network stack. It is an implementation of TCP and UDP over IP which is dynamically linked into an application’s address space and granted direct access to accelerated network hardware. - Solarflare Streamlines Climate Storage
DKRZ recently upgraded its Infiniband-based visualization cluster with a 10G Ethernet solution using Solarflare server adapters to improve performance while leveraging a common base of Ethernet-based tools, expertise, and management. - Solarflare's OpenOnload Presentation to the French Network Operators Group (FRnOG)
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) Reports 10GbE Improves Cluster Performance by 36% over InfiniBand
PPPL is one of many shared high-performance computing (HPC) clusters in the fusion energy community that operates both Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and InfiniBand (IB) clusters. Attracted by the competitive price per port and ease of use of 10GbE, PPPL decided to measure application performance on 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interconnect, PPPL found that the 18 node cluster utilizing 10GbE significantly outperformed the cluster configured with DDR IB, reducing GYRO code compute time by over 36%. - Solarflare OpenOnload vs. RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)
OpenOnload is a dynamically linked library which transparently accelerates all POSIX socket API calls, while ensuring application compatibility, easy deployment, and simplified management. - Superior NFS Performance using Solarflare Server Adapters
This technical note summarizes performance benchmarking of Linux NFS over 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) using Solarflare Server Adapters. This note outlines the benefits of 10GbE over Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) for NFS thereby providing a case for upgrading GbE infrastructure to 10 GbE, and to demonstrate that Solarflare Server Adapters offer a cost-effective, high- performance solution whose performance exceeds that of other 10GbE adapters on the market. - 10G Ethernet: Now Ready for Low-Latency HPC Applications
Solarflare extends the benefits of its low-latency, high-bandwidth 10GbE server adapters to High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications - Steve Pope and David Riddoch Deliver Google Tech Talk "The OpenOnload User-level Network Stack
