Dear ALASCA Community,
we are happy to invite you to our February Tech-Talk on 27th February 2026, 11 am. This time, you can look forward to the following topic and speakers:
Martin Pilka (CEO)
& Matus Jenca (Software Engineer), dNation
Any cluster is only as fast and reliable as its
underlying network infrastructure. Amount of data processed is
ever growing, especially with recent development of AI. To
achieve reasonable processing speed, it is crucial to have fast
both network and storage. In this talk we share our experience
from building fast network foundation for Yaook cluster using
common (not InfiniBand) switches/cabling where each node is
connected to two switches. We name challenges we faced, describe
how we solved them and summarize lessons learned.
We demonstrate our approach on live demo, demonstrating both improved network speed and redundancy.
Attached to this e-mail, we are also sending you the invite for your calendars. Please feel free to share it with whomever might be interested in this Tech-Talk.
Have a nice weekend and see you soon,
Franziska
