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.
Voltaire Ltd., a provider of scale-out data center fabrics, has announced the availability of Voltaire’s Fabric Collective Accelerator (FCA) solution for environments using Platform MPI. Voltaire FCA is a software and hardware solution designed to speed up message passing interface (MPI) performance over x86 based clusters to accelerate performance of high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
In a new benchmark test conducted by HP, Voltaire FCA software improved performance of ANSYS FLUENT between 14 and 30% and CD-adapco Star-CD AClass by 10%, according to Voltaire. The 192-core benchmark environment consisted of 96 HP BL460 blade servers, Voltaire Grid Director 40 Gb/s InfiniBand switches and Platform MPI. Platform MPI is a high-performance implementation of the MPI.
Voltaire FCA software accelerates MPI collective operations by using Voltaire switches and their on-board processors to offload parts of group communication onto the switching fabric while Voltaire Unified Fabric Manager software (UFM) orchestrates a topology-based collective flow.
“Gaining a 10 to 30% improvement in application performance is very significant and can mean substantial gains in competitive advantage for a business,” says Asaf Somekh, vice president of Marketing, Voltaire. “The integration of Voltaire FCA software and Platform MPI enables a broader range of HPC customers to leverage these new performance advancements.”
