Level 5 Networks to Discuss the Future of High Performance Ethernet at Sun High Performance Computing Consortium USA 2005
Posted on: Monday, 7 November 2005, 09:00 CST
Level 5 Networks: WHAT: Level 5 Networks, a leading developer of high-speed server interconnect solutions, and one of its customers will discuss the future of High Performance Ethernet at Sun High Performance Computing Consortium USA 2005. Dr. Steve Pope, founder, CTO and vice president software architecture for Level 5 Networks, and Dr. Phil Williams, a Level 5 customer and Advanced Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham, UK, will be jointly presenting at Sun HPC Consortium USA 2005. Dr. Pope and Dr. Williams will outline the Level 5 Networks approach to the challenges facing researchers involved in drug discovery and development. They will examine how advances in Ethernet technology can be applied to accelerate high-performance computing clusters and speed research. These performance gains benefit companies in a variety of ways, including more rapid product development, improved time-to-revenue for new products, and improved ROI on invested capital. WHY: Industries across the board are increasingly relying on compute-heavy tasks, from rapid customer facing web transactions to genome simulations that require millions of calculations. Such a heavy workload has taken its toll on today's networks, bogging down Ethernet connections, causing adapter architectures to become a performance bottleneck. To address this problem, Level 5 Networks developed EtherFabric, the only standards complaint interconnect solution that meets the performance requirements of the high performance cluster computing marketplace.
