Evolutionary organizations reimagine the future: an MIT Technology Review Insights report, sponsored by Thoughtworks
Across all industries, organizations are facing relentless customer, market, geopolitical, and technology change. In response, most are dedicating a huge amount of time and resources to discrete digital transformation initiatives — but few are seeing the results and ROI they really want. In this MIT Technology Review Insights report — created in collaboration with Thoughtworks […]
NVIDIA InfiniBand Adaptive Routing Technology
In this white paper, we’ll look at how adaptive routing from NVIDIA plays such an important role, eliminating congestion and increasing data center performance. InfiniBand adaptive routing technology reroutes data to eliminate congestion, and therefore, increases data center performance. As presented, both HPC applications and AI applications utilizing adaptive routing achieve higher performance. Adaptive routing is an important network element that drives your HPC systems toward new levels of utilization that increase return on investment.
