초록

InfiniBand is a switched-fabric architecture for next generation I/O systems and data centers. The InfiniBand Architecture (IBA) promises to replace bus-based architectures, such as PCI, with a switched-based fabric whose benefits include higher performance, higher RAS (reliability, availability, scalability), and the ability to create modular networks of servers and shared I/O devices. The switched-fabric InfiniBand consists of InfiniBand subnets with channel adapters, switches, and routers. In order to fully grasp the operational characteristics of InfiniBand architecture (IBA) and use them in ongoing design specification, simulation of subnet management of IBA is inevitable. In this paper, thus, we implement an IBA simulator and test some practical sample networks using it. The simulator shows the flow of operation by which the correctness and effectiveness of the system can be verified.
