Software Defined Networking for HPC Interconnects and its Extension across Domains (Final Technical Report for DE-SC0016039)
- Florida State Univ., Tallahassee, FL (United States)
This project seeks to incorporate OpenFlow-style Software Defined Networking capability into existing High Performance Computing (HPC) interconnect technology, InfiniBand, and to extend such capability beyond one domain. We develop SDN-enhanced InfiniBand that supports OpenFlow functionality for HPC interconnects, investigate the required techniques and the potential benefits for applying SDN on different types of HPC interconnects, and develop software to control the network and expose SDN capability to external networks through the OpenFlow interface. We have also developed techniques to evaluate communication characteristics of parallel applications, which determines the workload on interconnects, investigated newly proposed Interconnection network technologies including new network topologies and routing schemes, and designed novel interconnect routing and modeling techniques. Major activities and findings are summarized as follows.
