DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: As InfiniBand (IB) and High-speed Ethernet (HSE) technologies mature=0Ain their support for next generation high-end Computing (HEC) systems,=0Amany scientists, engineers and researchers are becoming interested in=0Alearning the details of these technologies. Large-scale deployments of=0Athese technologies are also bringing new challenges in terms of=0Aperformance, scalability, portability, reliability and network=0Acongestion issues. This tutorial will provide details about the=0Aadvanced features (hardware and software) of these emerging=0Atechnologies and how the above challenges are being addressed.  It=0Awill start with an overview of the current large-scale deployments of=0Aclusters and the associated challenges being faced. Advanced hardware=0Aand software features of both IB and HSE and their capabilities to=0Aalleviate these bottlenecks will be emphasized. Challenges in=0Adesigning next generation systems with these advanced features will be=0Afocused. Details on the OpenFabrics software stack (including how =0Ato program with it), Subnet Management infrastructure and tools will be focused.  Case studies and experiences in designing HPC clusters (with=0AMPI-1 and MPI-2), PGAS designs, SDP, GPU computing, and cloud=0Acomputing systems (including Hadoop, memcached and IB-WAN) will be presented together with the associated performance numbers and comparisons.
