The history behind Cornelis Networks

“At Cornelis, we have high-performance networking in our DNA.
We have built our company on our fabric networking roots, which stretch back to SilversStorm, PathScale, QLogic, Cray and Intel, and are a significant part of who we are.
Our solution combines and enhances the best elements of existing fabric technologies, while supporting a work environment and open standards for our clients.”

Cornelis Networks continues to develop and support this technology after taking over the discontinued Intel OmniPath business. Now they continue to improve it, bringing higher performance and speeds in complete network solutions. These are especially important in HPC, AI, or CFD workloads where fast fabric connections enable the full performance of the hardware solution.

Omni-path

Cornelis’ Omni-Path Express delivers low latency and high polling rates – the foundation for powerful applications and scalability.

Fabric

With their highly optimized OpenFabrics interfaces, Cornelis Omni-Path Express delivers support for a wide range of application environments with industry-leading performance for mission-critical and priority end-customer workloads.

Application

Cornelis Omni-Path Express provides exceptional performance for many HPC applications, including computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, molecular dynamics, genomics, financial risk modeling, CAD, weather forecasting and many more.

Frameworks

Cornelis Omni-Path Express supports a wide range of frameworks including Intel MPI, Open MPI, MPICH, MVAPICH2, SHMEM, GasNet, TensorFlow and more.

Applying Cornelis solutions in the automotive sector

In the last six months, Cornelis has placed over 6,500 interconnection nodes in the automotive sector. Newer and faster interconnection technologies in this sector can significantly speed up the running of simulations, training of autonomous sectors or calculations for aerodynamics. For reference, the unbeatable price/performance ratio was demonstrated in several CFD applications and work environments, such as:
