Cornelis Omni-Path Accelerated Host Fabric Adapter CN-100HFA

Cornelis Omni-Path Express Accelerated Host Fabric Adapters are designed to provide a perfect semantic match between the requirements of real-world HPC applications and the scale-out fabric, maximizing performance at scale.

Cornelis Omni-Path Express adapters come in PCI low profile and Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 form factors and deliver scalable bandwidth in increments of 100 Gbps, 250 million MPI messages per second, and sub-microsecond MPI latency. Other advanced performance features include dispersive routing, congestion control, a unique sub-link layer architecture that enables Packet Integrity Protection (zero latency protection against bit transmission errors), and Virtual Fabrics support.

Cornelis Networks provides the industry’s leading accelerated host fabric adapters.

Omni-Path Express adapters cost-effectively deliver high bandwidth and use advanced technologies to meet the key challenges to application performance, maximizing cluster scalability and message rate while minimizing average and tail latency.
Cornelis Omni-Path Express scale-out interconnect

Unprecedented demands on the scale-out interconnect are being driven by advances in artificial intelligence, high performance data analytics, and traditional modeling and simulation environments, coupled with extremely capable processing and storage infrastructures.

Cornelis Omni-Path Express is the next generation of high performance fabrics, based on a proven hardware foundation combined with the OpenFabrics Interfaces (OFI) software framework, that delivers the industry’s lowest latency, highest message rate, and best collectives performance, all at the industry’s lowest CPU utilization.

Accelerated application performance at scale

Cornelis Omni-Path Express Accelerated Host Fabric Adapters provide a perfect semantic match between the requirements of real-world applications and the scale-out fabric, maximizing scalability and performance at the industry’s lowest price point.

These adapters ensure optimal application performance by delivering key features for efficiency, including dispersive routing and congestion control. These features are complemented by a unique sub-link layer architecture that enables Packet Integrity Protection (zero latency protection against bit transmission errors).

These features, together with advanced Virtual Fabrics support, provide the unique interconnect capabilities to deliver industry-leading application performance and manageability at scale.
