Implementing High Performance Computing Fabrics with the Cisco SFS (HPCSFS) v1.0
|
4 days
|
Lecture/lab
|
| Course description |
HPCSFS provides hands-on training for implementation of high-performance computing (HPC) networks with the Cisco® Server Fabric Switch (SFS) platform.
The course begins with an overview of server fabrics, high-performance computing networks, and the InfiniBand protocol. Through a series of structured lecture and hands-on lab work, you will then learn how to install, cable, configure, and manage the InfiniBand fabric. You will also learn the basics of HPC performance tuning.
For those students who are implementing multi-fabric I/O (MFIO) with the SFS platform, the course also covers implementation of the SFS Ethernet and Fibre Channel gateway modules, and remote server boot over InfiniBand.
