Intel Omni-Path Switch 100 Series - Preface; Intended Audience; Intel Omni-Path Documentation Library

Preface
This manual is part of the documentation set for the Intel
®
Omni-Path Fabric (Intel
®
OP Fabric), which is an end-to-end solution consisting of Intel
®
Omni-Path Host Fabric
Interfaces (HFIs), Intel
®
Omni-Path switches, and fabric management and
development tools.
The Intel
®
OP Fabric delivers the next generation, High-Performance Computing (HPC)
network solution that is designed to cost-effectively meet the growth, density, and
reliability requirements of large-scale HPC clusters.
Both the Intel
®
OP Fabric and standard InfiniBand* (IB) are able to send Internet
Protocol (IP) traffic over the fabric, or IPoFabric. In this document, however, it may
also be referred to as IP over IB or IPoIB. From a software point of view, IPoFabric
behaves the same way as IPoIB, and in fact uses an ib_ipoib driver to send IP traffic
over the ib0/ib1 ports.
Intended Audience
The intended audience for the Intel
®
Omni-Path (Intel
®
OP) document set is network
administrators and other qualified personnel.
