Brief:
Numascale's NumaConnect™ technology enables computer system vendors to build scalable servers with the functionality of enterprise mainframes at the cost level of clusters.
NumaConnect differentiates from all other interconnects in providing a true high-performance ccNuma architecture and thereby the ability to provide unified access to all resources in a system and utilize caching techniques to obtain very low latency.
A Qualitative Discussion of NumaConnect vs InfiniBand and other high-speed networks
The HTML version of the whitepaper can be found →here
Brief:
The main focus of InfiniBand was to be able to encapsulate any packet format and provide high bandwidth connections between systems and their peripherals as well as between systems. InfiniBand is a "shared nothing" architecture. This means that all communication requires a driver level in software to control the communication and handle buffers for the RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) engines.
NumaConnect provides a scalable, low-latency, high bandwidth interconnect with full support for cache coherence. The shared address space allows processors to access remote memory directly without any software driver level intervention and no overheads associated with setting up RDMA transfers. A NumaConnect system addresses all memory and all memory mapped I/O devices directly.
