Intel buys Infiniband unit from Qlogic for $125M
Associated PressAssociated Press – Mon, Jan 23, 2012
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Intel Corp. on Monday said it had agreed to buy Qlogic Corp.'s line of
Infiniband adapters, used to tie processors together into supercomputing clusters, for $125 million.
Intel said the acquisition would help it reach the goal of supplying computers that can perform one
exaflop, or a quintillion calculations, per second. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company expects a
"significant number" of Qlogic employees to accept offers to join Intel.

Why SCM will need new Interconnects
Assume 50ns SCM access time (DRAM speed)
PCIe, InfiniBand latency ≈ 1 μsec = 21x latency
Read syscall, file in RAM ≈ 260 nsec = 6x latency
Speed of light in optical fiber ≈ .65 ft / nsec
