QFabric, which scales to thousands of ports, is a single fabric with 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE, and Fiber Channel connectivity for=0ALayer-2 and Layer-3 switching, optimized for distributed compute and storage clusters that allows MPI, storage access and management networks to be consolidated into a single fabric.=0A=0AThis session discusses this unique, robust fabric architecture that builds upon the principles of Layer-2/Layer-3 Ethernet switch fabric design and will touch on how QFabric is being used in SCinet and in various demonstrations throughout the SC12 exhibit floor.=0A=0ALearn about the metamorphosis of 10 & 40 gigabit Ethernet into a true fabric for next generation supercomputing and how to increase bandwidth and scale in cluster environments to enable the next generation computing clusters.
