NetEffect to Address OpenFabrics Alliance Conference in Paris
OpenFabrics Conference, Paris, France. – June 20, 2006 – NetEffect, the leader in next generation Ethernet connectivity solutions, today announced that Gary Montry, NetEffect's Senior Scientist, will present at the OpenFabrics Alliance Conference in Paris on June 23. The conference agenda includes numerous workshops that will explore the latest in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Grid technologies.
Gary will provide conference attendees with an overview of iWARP technology and an update on the latest developments and performance data in Remote DMA (RDMA) over Ethernet and iWARP.
iWARP is a series of extensions to Ethernet that virtually eliminate the CPU overhead associated with networking. iWARP Ethernet is capable of providing 10Gbps performance for networking, storage and clustering applications, using common Ethernet hardware and software. Since iWARP is fully compatible with today's Ethernet infrastructures, the resulting performance improvements come without the cost premiums associated with earlier, proprietary technologies.
NetEffect is the only company today, delivering Ethernet adapters that include a full iWARP implementation. The company's NE010 iWARP Ethernet Channel Adapter (ECA) delivers the highest throughput and bandwidth, along with the lowest latency and CPU utilization, of any Ethernet channel adapter available on the market today. NetEffect is currently providing the NE010 to select customers for testing.
During his presentation, Gary will discuss the iWARP standards and the advantages and benefits of a full iWARP implementation. He will use NetEffect's NE010 to present measured data and make comparisons of the product's performance versus other interconnect fabrics.
Gary's background includes over 30 years of experience in computer simulation development for high performance computing systems. He also has been a consultant for several computer hardware manufacturers in the area of hardware architecture design for parallel and high-performance computing systems.
