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

As high performance computing shifts away from single core processors to multi-core and parallel processing, InfiniBand interconnects have emerged as the clear leader in all new HPC shipments especially at the high end.

InfiniBand is particularly well suited for the HPC environment due to its ultra low latency, high message rate, large bandwidth, and fabric integrity (flow control). HPC solutions from IBM and QLogic significantly reduce parallel job completion times leading to quicker solutions, faster time-to-market, and improved business results.
