After an initial Rockport proof-of-concept deployment in the Durham Intelligent NIC Environment (DINE) supercomputer, the university quickly saw Rockport’s technology as a breakthrough way to address congestion -- delivering workload completion time under load equal to or better than InfiniBand.

Key Points: 
  • Rockports fully distributed network fabric delivers better performance, resource utilization and network economics by overcoming the congestion bottlenecks associated with traditional switch-based networks.
  • The Rockport Switchless Network distributes the network switching function to its COSMA7 endpoint devices (nodes) which become the network.
  • The Rockport Switchless Network is a distributed, highly reliable, high-performance interconnect providing pre-wired supercomputer topologies through a standard plug-and-play Ethernet interface.
  • Durham especially appreciated the simplicity and the intuitive look inside the network that Rockports Autonomous Network Manager (ANM) provides.
