ConnectX adapters deliver the highest data throughput and lowest latency of any industry-standard PCI Express adapter available today, thereby accelerating applications and data transfers in High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments.

"The Dawning 5000A with Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand delivers energy efficient, extreme computing performance for the most demanding of high-performance applications such as genome mapping, quake appraisal, precise weather forecast, mining survey and huge stock exchange data", stated Hua Nie, vice president of Dawning Information Industry Co., Ltd.

"Mellanox's leading ConnectX InfiniBand products have become the interconnect of choice to accelerate the world's fastest supercomputers, as they meet the most demanding of I/O performance requirements while keeping multicore CPU overhead and energy consumption at a minimum", stated Thad Omura, vice president of product marketing at Mellanox Technologies. "We are pleased to have our 20Gb/s InfiniBand interconnect technology chosen by Dawning to accelerate China's leading supercomputer."

In addition to ConnectX, Mellanox's single-port InfiniHost III Lx 20Gb/s InfiniBand adapters and line of copper InfiniBand cables have been certified by Dawning for use with the Dawning 4000. The InfiniHost III Lx adapter is an ideal solution for cost-sensitive applications seeking to benefit from InfiniBand's high-performance and low latency characteristics.
