A new industry I/O specification using a 2.5 Gbit/seceond wire speed connection with one, four or twelve wire link widths. Applications include remote storage devices and servers. Interconnect In programmable logic, silicon devoted to connecting memory elements on the chip to create a logic circuit.
InfiniBand is the next generation switch fabric architecture that enables increased network bandwidth (10Gbps), redundant connectivity support, shared resources, lower CPU utilization, and use of industry standard (vs. proprietary) components. InfiniBand technology can be used to connect servers with remote storage, networking devices, and other servers. It can also be used inside servers for inter-processor communication (IPC) in clusters. www.infinibandta.org
