In InfiniBand, Virtual Lanes (VLs) are used to provide logical isolation of traffic within a single physical connection. What is the maximum number of Virtual Lanes supported by the InfiniBand standard, and what is their primary purpose?
You are configuring an HPC cluster that leverages InfiniBand technology. You aim to achieve optimal performance by fine-tuning Quality of Service (QoS) settings to manage different types of network traffic. Which of the following is the most important factor to consider when configuring QoS for InfiniBand in an HPC environment?
You are configuring an InfiniBand-based high-performance computing (HPC) cluster for a scientific simulation workload that requires low latency and high throughput communication between nodes. The application is designed to leverage RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) to bypass the CPU and improve data transfer efficiency. You notice that while the latency is low, the throughput is not meeting expected levels. Which of the following is the most effective method to optimize RDMA performance for this application?
