Currently I'm in the design and testing phase for an interconnect bridge for Supercomputers.
Object:
Connect 2 or more dissimilar supercomputers so that each can use the resources of the other,
Bridge 2 or more dissimilar Interconnects and External networks at maximum I/O.
Example:
Supercomputer 1 running HP-UX, Quadrics Interconnect
Supercomputer 2 running Linux, InfiniBand Interconnect
Grid fiber connection at 80Gb/s
Hardware solution:
1 or more AMD Opteron Quad Dual-Core Processor Platforms, Dual InfiniBand onboard via Hyper-transport buss, 2 Quadrics cards connected via independent PCI-X/Express busses, Dual 10Gb/s Neterion S2io cards connected via independent PCI-X/Express busses.
Software solution:
Currently working on a custom compiled OpenMPI version that will allow translation and message passing between interconnects with the least amount of CPU usage there by decreasing latency and overhead. Currently working on cross platform GUI Management and monitoring consol.
Goals:
Extend life and usability of older Supercomputers and clusters, Access to otherwise unused resources, Allow projects to be pre-staged on smaller clusters, Increase data transfer, and allow for a host of new and innovative configurations.
Status:
Still refining platform.
Early stages of software development.
Special Thanks to: AMD, I-Will USA, Tyan, Mellanox Technologies, Quadrics, Neterion,
Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center, Carnegie Mellon University, John @ Neotek.
and all the folks that are making this project possible.
