Attend a Technical Briefing and Lunch, presented by

Lloyd Dickman, QLogic,

CTO for InfiniBand Products

QLogic’s TrueScale InfiniBand technology is designed for performance at scale. This talk will briefly review our current generation InfiniBand product portfolio and describe the underlying technology that permits scaling. We will then cover recently introduced advanced capabilities for SHMEM, dispersive and adaptive fabric routing, and support for fabric-based quality of service.
