What are the high performance network plans for your next cluster?

Will be moving to 10 GigE

Staying with basic GigE because cost/performance is fine

Waiting because 10 GigE is still too expensive

Waiting because I need to see 10 GigE benchmarks

Trying to decide between InfiniBand and 10-GigE

Intel has delivered on “Moore’s Law” using dual-core processing to build a 128-node High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster that delivers theoretical peak performance of 3.2 teraflops and sustained performance of over 2.1 teraflops. Based on off-the-shelf technologies, including the next-generation dual-core Intel Xeon processor and an InfiniBand interconnect, the cluster represents a new era that rapidly increases performance while reducing or holding steady the requirements for power, heat and floor space. Industry collaborators and end-users can access the machine through the Intel Remote Access Service and use it to test-drive their codes and accelerate their move to Intel multi-core computing.
