Omni-Path Switches

Supermicro Intel® Omni-Path 100Gbps 48-port Switch - 1U 48-port top-of-rack network switch supports the 100Gbps Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) Supermicro SSH-C48Q 1U 48-port top-of-rack network switch support the 100Gbps Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) providing a unique HPC cluster solution offering excellent bandwidth, latency and message rate that is highly scalable and easily serviceable. SSH-C48Q 48-port 100Gbps supporting Omni-Path Architecture leverages the Intel Scalable System Framework (SSF) to address evolving demands across high performance data analytics, machine learning, visualization, traditional modeling and simulation workloads. Designed specifically for HPC, the 48-port SSH-C48Q offers 9.6 Tb/s total fabric bandwidth. High scalability with the capability of 27,648 nodes in 2-tier configuration. Supermicro SSH-C48Q is designed to overcome the scaling challenges of large-sized clusters. The enhancements include: High Message Rate Throughput. SSH-C48Q is designed to support high message rate traffic from each node through the fabric. With ever-increasing processing power and core counts in Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors, that means the fabric has to support high bandwidth as well as high message rate throughput. 48-port Switch ASIC. SSH-C48Q 48-port design provides for improved fabric scalability, reduced latency, increased density, and reduced cost and power. SSH-C48Q offers 9.6 Tb/s total fabric bandwidth. High scalability with the capability of 27,648 nodes in 2-tier configuration. Deterministic Latency. Features in Intel OPA will help minimize the negative performance impacts of large Maximum Transfer Units (MTUs) on small messages and help maintain consistent latency for interprocess communication (IPC) messages, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) messages, when large messages-typically storage-are being simultaneously transmitted in the fabric. This will allow Intel OPA to bypass lower priority large packets to allow higher priority small packets, creating a low and more predictable latency through the fabric. Enhanced End-to-End Reliability. Supermicro SSH-C48Q supporting Intel Omni-Path Architecture will also deliver efficient detection and error correction, which is expected to be much more efficient then forward error correction (FEC) defined in the InfiniBand standard. Enhancements include zero load for detection, and if a correction is required, packets only need to be retransmitted from the last link-not all the way from the sending node-which enables near zero additional latency for a correction.
