Mellanox InfiniBand and Ethernet Solutions
Connect 296 Systems or 59% of Overall TOP500 Platforms,
Demonstrating 37% Growth in 12 Months (June’18-June’19);
HDR 200G InfiniBand Makes Its Debut on the
List, Accelerating Four Systems Including the Fifth Highest Ranking
Supercomputer;
Mellanox 25 Gigabit and Faster Ethernet
Solutions Connect 63% of Total Ethernet Systems, Representing 124%
Growth in 12 Months
INTERNATIONAL SUPERCOMPUTING CONFERENCE – Mellanox®
Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier of
high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for data
center servers and storage systems, today announced that the
company’s InfiniBand solutions accelerate six of the top ten
High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Supercomputers on the June TOP500 list. The six systems Mellanox
accelerates include the top three, and four of the top five: The
fastest supercomputer in the world at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, #2 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, #3 at
Wuxi Supercomputing Center in China, #5 at Texas Advanced Computing
Center, #8 at Japan’s Advanced Industrial Science and Technology,
and #10 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
HDR 200G InfiniBand, the fastest and most advanced interconnect
technology, makes its debut on the list, accelerating four
supercomputers worldwide, including the fifth top-ranked
supercomputer in the world located at the Texas Advanced Computing
Center, which also represents the fastest supercomputer built in
2019.
Mellanox InfiniBand and Ethernet connect 296 systems, or 59% of
overall TOP500 platforms, demonstrating 37% growth in 12 months,
from June 2018 to June 2019. This includes all of the 126
InfiniBand systems, and most of the 25 gigabit and faster Ethernet
platforms. Mellanox's Ethernet solutions are used in 170 Ethernet
systems on the list, or 63% of the total Ethernet platforms,
demonstrating 124% growth in 12 months.
The TOP500 list has evolved in recent years to include more
hyperscale, cloud, and enterprise platforms, in addition to the HPC
systems. More than half of the systems on the June 2019 list can be
categorized as non-HPC application platforms, interconnected with
Ethernet, where a large number of these systems represents US,
Chinese and other hyperscale infrastructures.
“We are proud to connect nearly 60% of the TOP500 supercomputers
with our InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnect technologies,
demonstrating growth of 37% from last year’s list. We are also
proud to see the first HDR 200 Gigabit InfiniBand supercomputers on
the TOP500 list, including the fifth most powerful supercomputer in
the world and the fastest supercomputer built in 2019 at the Texas
Advanced Computing Center. The innovations built into our HDR
InfiniBand solutions, along with their performance advantages, make
it the best interconnect of choice for the world’s leading compute
and storage infrastructures. There are multiple HDR InfiniBand
systems around the world today serving scientific and research
activities that are not all on the TOP500 list, and we continue to
see strong momentum for this technology across all geographies,”
said Eyal Waldman, president and CEO of Mellanox Technologies. “We
are excited to see 170 of the Ethernet systems utilize Mellanox’s
25 Gigabit or faster Ethernet solutions, demonstrating an increase
of 124% year over year, and the growing adoption of our Ethernet
adapters, switches and cables for hyperscale, cloud and enterprise
infrastructures. The need to analyze ever-growing amounts of data
drives designing several leading supercomputers with multiple
network adapters per node for higher data throughput. The new
NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD supercomputer utilizes ten 100 gigabit EDR
InfiniBand adapters, for a total of one Terabit of data throughput
per node. We have already started designing our NDR 400 gigabit
InfiniBand generation that will power the next generation of
supercomputing and machine learning platforms.”
Published twice a year and publicly available at www.top500.org,
the TOP500 list ranks the world’s most powerful computer systems
according to the Linpack benchmark rating system. Key takeaways
from the June 2019 list include:
