InfiniBand Drivers Released for Xserve G5 Clusters

Posted by pudge on from the insert-grunting-noise-here dept.

A user writes, "A company called Small Tree just announced the release of InfiniBand drivers for the Mac, for more supercomputing speed. People have already been making supercomputer clusters for the Mac, including Virginia Tech's third-fastest supercomputer in the world, but InfiniBand is supposed to make the latency drop. A lot. Voltaire also makes some sort of Apple InfiniBand products, though it's not clear whether they make the drivers or hardware."

  1. Third fastest what? by OverlordQ · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I sure dont see it given that the 'official' word back in 2003 is that it was 3rd fastest. The Top 500 list (June of 2004) I can't even find it on that page. And last, if it did reach the 10.6TFlops it'd be #5 after the 11.6TFlop BlueGene/I
