This paper from HotStorage'25 presents OrcaCache, a design proposal for a coordinated caching framework tailored to disaggregated storage systems. In a disaggregated architecture, compute and storage resources are physically separated and connected via high-speed networks. These became increasingly common in modern data centers as they enable flexible resource scaling and improved fault isolation. (Follow the money as they say!) But accessing remote storage introduces serious latency and effi...| Metadata
IBTA Releases Updated InfiniBand and RoCE Integrators List of Interoperable and Compliant Devices Demand for High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud infrastructures for compute and data intensive applications continues to grow while answering the call for faster interconnects to transfer massive amounts of data between servers and between servers and storage. To keep up with demand, the InfiniBand […]| RoCE Initiative
By Bill Lee The ever-increasing need for higher performance in the world of supercomputing demands interconnect solutions provide continuously faster speeds, lower latency and advanced telemetry and configuration options. The InfiniBand® Trade Association (IBTA) continues to meet these industry demands by providing enhancements to InfiniBand scalability and optimization. With the public availability of the InfiniBand Architecture Specification Volume 1 Release […]| RoCE Initiative

By Rupert Dance This past October, the IBTA held Plugfest 36 at the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). The products that passed Compliance and Interoperability testing during this plugfest have been published in the latest versions of the InfiniBand Combined Cable and Device Integrators’ List and the RoCE Integrators’ List. These extensive Integrators’ Lists feature detailed testing and product information […]| RoCE Initiative
By Rupert Dance This past April, the IBTA’s Plugfest 35 became the first event to both test and verify HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand products, opening the door for high performance compute (HPC) systems to achieve new levels of speed and performance. This event, held at the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), included thorough compliance and interoperability testing of each […]| RoCE Initiative
