Intel Gigabit Ethernet Server adapters provide fast connectivity for high-performance servers and are the mainstream technology for future data center http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18415.html "> Network connectivity, It is designed specifically for multi-core processors and is specifically optimized for virtualization, with significant advantages for large data block transmissions.
In a lecture on the topic "Low latency Gigabit Ethernet for high-performance computing". Intel product line manager Tom Stachura has explained to us the low latency and high performance network via Gigabit Ethernet, which computes the cluster matrix high-performance with a single gigabit Ethernet to reduce power, space and density in the data center, and how the IWARP protocol achieves low latency through RDMA technology.

Tom Stachura pointed out that "in the End-to-end application process, the delay in the application, operating system protocol stack, network drive, I/O processing, device ports and ports and other processes accumulate, and gradually caused the user to Ethernet can not provide delay service error." But many applications are performing high-performance computing with large data tasks distributed to service clusters, and realize the benefits of low latency, such as Enterprise-class database queries, financial market data systems, and so on. And in the future the low latency will be more widely used in virtualized data centers, cloud computing. ”
