Five years after Intel spun off its #Omni-Path #interconnect tech into Cornelis Networks, its 400Gbps CN5000 line of switches and NICs is finally ready to do battle with its long-time rival, Nvidia's #InfiniBand www.theregister.com/2025/06/09/o... #HPC #AI via @theregister.com

Omni-Path is back to take on I...

What If #OmniPath Morphs Into The Best #UltraEthernet?
Many #HPC centers in #US – importantly #Sandia and #LawrenceLivermore as well as the Texas Advanced Computing Center (#TACC) – wanted an alternative to #InfiniBand or proprietary interconnects like #HPE/#Cray’s Slingshot, and they have been funding the redevelopment of Omni-Path. And now, #CornelisNetworks is going to be intersecting its roadmap with Omni-Path switches and adapters with the #UEC roadmap.

This is neat on many dimensions:

1. Sapphire Rapids HBM nodes
2. Intel GPU partition
3. Cornelis 400G #OmniPath
4. Quote from Katie Antypas in her new role as #NSF ACI director

Delivery this autumn, production in early 2024.

Not as big as previous Stampedes (or Frontera or Horizon!) but still decidedly Intel-based.
