Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Mellanox Technologies announced that its RDMA technology for InfiniBand running Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V achieved 10.36GB/sec throughput and consumed only 4.6 percent CPU overhead running a remote file system, database and virtualized data center.
According to the company, that performance can eliminate the bottlenecks that frequently occur in the modern virtualized data center due to the exponential growth in the number of Virtual Machines (VM) per physical server. A higher number of randomized I/O requests can now be served when using Windows Server 2012 SMB Direct to access data on a remote file server and database that resides in the cloud.
The performance results were established using the new Microsoft SMB Direct protocol implemented in Windows Server 2012 RC running over Supermicro Servers and JBODs, OCZ's Talos-2R SSDs and LSI MegaRAID SAS 9285 storage controllers enabled with LSI Fast Path I/O acceleration software, all connected by Mellanox's InfiniBand interconnect solution. The full turnkey system solution is available through Supermicro - OEM RAC Model SRS-14URKS-0604-01-VI011.
SMB Direct takes advantage of Mellanox's RDMA interconnect technology to provide improved performance and reduced CPU overhead in enterprise data center applications. Mellanox's RDMA-based technologies include the company's FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 40GbE with RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) interconnect products.
