Clustering with high-performance computing by using InfiniBand hardware

You can use this information to guide you through the process of planning, installing, managing, and servicing high-performance computing (HPC) clusters that use InfiniBand hardware.

This information serves as a navigation aid through the processes and publications that are required to install hardware units, firmware, operating systems, software and applications that comprise an HPC cluster environment. This information also provides configuration settings and the installation order for the cluster environment. Typical management and service procedures are also provided.

This information is not intended to replace the existing IBM or vendor-supplied publications for the various hardware units, firmware, operating systems, software or applications. These publications are referenced throughout this information.Hardware Information Web site at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/iphdx/power_systems.htm.
