Description
Product Overview of HP 592520-B21 PCI Express
The 592520-B21 HP 4X QDR CX 2 Infiniband 2 Port PCI Express 2.0 X8 Host Channel Adapter with Standard Bracket is a piece of computer hardware that provides connectivity to InfiniBand networks. In this article, we will explain in detail the features, specifications, and benefits of this product.
Features
The 592520-B21 HP 4X QDR CX 2 Infiniband 2 Port PCI Express 2.0 X8 Host Channel Adapter is a dual-port, low-profile Host Channel Adapter (HCA) that supports quad data rate (QDR) InfiniBand technology. The adapter features a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface and can transfer data at speeds of up to 40 Gbps per port, providing high-bandwidth connectivity for applications that require high-speed data transfers.
The adapter also supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), which allows data to be transferred directly between applications’ memory without involving the CPU, reducing latency and increasing network efficiency. RDMA also allows for low CPU utilization and improved system performance, making it ideal for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
