Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (Sunnyvale, CA & Yokneam, Israel), a supplier of end-to-end connectivity solutions for data center servers and storage, announced that its ConnectX 40Gbps InfiniBand adapters, 40Gbps InfiniBand switches, and cables will provide the high-performance, low-latency interconnect foundation for the new compute clusters being built at Forschungszentrum Jülich in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, one of the largest interdisciplinary research centers in Europe.

The new cluster is being built through an innovative alliance between Mellanox, Bull, Intel, Sun Microsystems, ParTec, and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre; the first such collaboration in the world, states the release.

The new system will support advanced research in many areas such as health, information, environment, and energy. It consists of two closely coupled clusters, JuRoPA, with more than 200 Teraflop/s performance, and HPC-FF, with more than 100 Teraflop/s. The latter will be dedicated for the European fusion research community.
