InfiniBand Performance Over Intel Haswell – First Numbers

As Intel just released the new CPU platform - official name Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3, code name “Haswell”, wanted to share some of our performance testing. Forr start, we tested the simple InfiniBand bandwidth and latency benchmarks one can find as part of the InfiniBand software distribution. We measured around 6.4 Giga Byte per second bandwidth and latency of close to 0.6 micro second. You can see the full graphs below. More to come J
