Configuring Infiniband for RDMA

The HPMC can be extended to access neighboring nodes memory via Infiniband appliances for RDMA access. This is realized through a switch connectivity that requires the following components:
The switch 12200:
Qlogic 12200-18 18-Port QDR InfiniBand Network Switch 12200-18-28
The cables:
Intel Qlogic CBL2-1001001-3, 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable QDR
QLOGIC CBL1-0600230 2M Cable Cop 30 AWG STD QSFP to QSFP
EMC 003-0080-01 3 Meter Infiniband 40gb QSFP to Cx4
EMC 003-0080-01 3 METER 40gb QSFP to Cx4 Cable
