Quantum computing represents uncharted territory for high-performance computing centers, with few, if any, definitive waypoints to guide deployment. Those InfiniBand attributes now stand to play a role in emerging fields such as AI and quantum computing. AI boosts InfiniBand technology salesWhile the lab assesses how InfiniBand might fit into its quantum strategy, the interconnect technology is experiencing something of a renaissance amid the AI boom. "For the same reason, we expect InfiniBand to also be well-positioned for quantum computing because its ultra-low latency and RDMA [Remote Direct Memory Access] features fit the tight-coupling quantum workloads demand," she said.
