"InfiniBand Architecture and Implementation"
"InfiniBand Architecture and Implementation" is an authoritative, in-depth guide to one of the most advanced interconnect technologies driving today’s high-performance computing, enterprise, and AI infrastructures. Beginning with a thorough exploration of InfiniBand’s origins, fundamental concepts, and layered architecture, the book masterfully contrasts it with competing standards such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and NVLink. Readers are introduced to critical terminology and immersed in the evolution of hardware and software standards that have propelled InfiniBand’s widespread adoption across industries.
The book systematically dissects InfiniBand’s technical underpinnings, from the physical and link layers to advanced network, transport, and management layers. It delves into the inner workings of fabric topologies, host adapters, switches, and state-of-the-art features like HDR and NDR, providing a clear blueprint for successful design, initialization, discovery, automation, and integration with distributed systems. Real-world implementation insights encompass integration with MPI, IPoIB, storage protocols, virtualization, and cutting-edge accelerator technologies such as GPUDirect—all while addressing the challenges of scaling, troubleshooting, and performance optimization in both single and distributed deployments.
Designed for architects, engineers, and researchers, this comprehensive reference also addresses security, reliability, and compliance concerns in detail, presenting strategies for partitioning, access control, threat mitigation, high availability, and disaster recovery. The book concludes with a forward-looking perspective on emerging trends, future challenges, and case studies of large-scale deployments, making it an essential resource for anyone seeking to master InfiniBand technology or to design and operate resilient, high-performance computing fabrics at scale.
