Fabric: InfiniBand* and OPA<br />

InfiniBand/OPA is a multi-lane, high-speed serial interconnect (Copper or Fiber)<br />

• Typically presented as a 4x solution<br />

• Speeds: 40Gb/s (M & Intel QDR), 56Gb/s (M FDR), 100Gb/s (EDR & Intel OPA)<br />

High bandwidth, low latency HPC interconnect for commodity servers<br />

• Ethernet switch latency is typically measured in μs, but InfiniBand/OPA is in<br />

nanoseconds<br />

• Lower CPU load<br />

• Lower cost than Ethernet<br />

– 100GbE measured in multiple $1,000’s per switch port<br />

– 100Gb OPA is ~$1k per switch port (target for <strong>Intel®</strong> OPA list pricing)<br />
