The three-year project will support programmers at chipmaker Intel and InfiniBand equipment makers Voltaire and Topspin Communications, the department said Tuesday at the SC2004 supercomputing conference in Pittsburgh. The programmers' work will aid the OpenIB Alliance, an effort to create open-source InfiniBand support.
InfiniBand can be used to connect large numbers of servers to each other into a high-performance technical computing cluster; it's the plumbing for the world's second-fastest supercomputer, Silicon Graphics' Columbia. The networking technology also can connect those cluster elements to storage devices.
