Profit Bricks: HPC in the Cloud
In this slidecast, Bot Rizeka from Profit Bricks describes the company #39;s IaaS offering for Cloud-based High Performance Computing. "The promise of cloud computing in its first generation did not improve the performance, cost or ease of use to the HPC market. The biggest stumbling block to date has been the cost in both performance and I/O for networks in the cloud. As an IaaS provider, ProfitBricks has developed what we believe is an elegant solution to the "network traffic roadblock". At the core of our solution you will find InfiniBand, a wired fabric that allows more than triple the data transfer rate between servers as compared to two of the industry #39;s biggest players, Amazon and Rackspace. ProfitBricks uses Mellanox dual QDR 40Gb/s InfiniBand switches to connect the server and storage infrastructure, while using a KVM hypervisor and massive multi-core AMD Opteron processors."
