Re: Omni Path is Infiniband

In a decade and a half Infiniband has not made much headway out of the HPC camp and into the data center where Ethernet is king. RoCE is one attempt to bring the gospel of RDMA to these lands but Intel is backing another (iWARP).

OPA is currently targeted at HPC clients as a "better Infiniband". It may or may not be a part of some grand plan for a converged network.
