An architect is designing an HPE Apollo 6000 solution to support an HPC application that is highly parallel and involves a lot of communication between compute nodes. The architect is choosing the FlexibleLOM options for the compute trays.
Which technology should the architect ensure that the trays support?
For a highly parallel HPC application involving extensive communication between compute nodes, it is crucial to have low latency and high throughput networking. RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) supports remote direct memory access over Ethernet, which reduces latency and provides efficient communication between nodes. This capability is essential for such HPC applications to perform optimally.
A = Incorrect, no VXLAN required or proposed B = This just offer storage C = Correct “If the customer prefers Ethernet, certain HPE FlexFaric 10GbE adapter can support RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which reduces latency” (P83 in HPE Master ASE v4) D = Cannot make data faster than Fiber Channel
Answer is C RDMA over Converged Ethernet is a network protocol that allows remote direct memory access over an Ethernet network.
