, SVP Networking, NVIDIA
, Georgia Institute of Technology
The high-performance InfiniBand network provides computing services via in-network computing acceleration engines, such as data aggregation and reduction, message passing interface (MPI) tag matching, MPI all-to-all, and more. Offloading these data algorithms to the network decreases the amount of data traversing the network, dramatically reduces the time of communication framework operations, enables compute and communication overlap, and increases data-center efficiency. Co-sponsors NVIDIA and HPC Advisory Council application experts will present and review scientific applications' performance advantage with in-network computing acceleration engines.
