The document discusses Cisco's offerings for high performance computing (HPC) clusters, including Cisco UCS servers in various form factors, Cisco Nexus switches with low latency Ethernet, and Cisco's Virtual Interface Card (VIC) with the usNIC driver. It provides performance results showing ultra low latency of 2.16 microseconds for small Open MPI messages and 89.69% efficiency on High Performance Linpack across 512 cores on a 32 node cluster. Cisco positions its unified computing system as providing industry-leading compute performance for HPC workloads without compromise.

Cisco usNIC: how it works, how it is used in Open MPIJeff Squyres
In this talk, I expand on the slides I presented at the Madrid, Spain EuroMPI conference in September 2013 (I re-used some of the slides from that Madrid presentation, but there's a bunch of new content in the latter half of the slide deck).
This talk is a technical deep dive into how Cisco's usNIC technology works, and how we use that technology in the BTL plugin that we wrote for Open MPI.
I originally gave this talk at Lawrence Berkeley Labs on Thursday, November 7, 2013.

Devconf2017 - Can VMs networking benefit from DPDKMaxime Coquelin
DPDK brings high-performance/low-latency virtualization networking capabilities thanks to its Vhost/Virtio support. The session will first introduce DPDK and its Vhost/Virtio implementations, exposing to the audience examples of possible uses, and challenges that need to be addressed to achieve high-performance, functionality and reliability. Then, Vhost/Virtio improvements introduced in last DPDK release will be covered, such as receive path optimizations, Virtio's indirect descriptors support, or transmit zero copy to name a few. The speakers will explain which problems they aim to address, how they address them, mentioning their limitations.
Finally, the speakers, who are active DPDK's Virtio/Vhost contributors, will expose what new developments are in the pipe to tackle the remaining challenges.
The session will be presented so that DPDK developers and users find useful information on current developments and status. People not familiar with DPDK may find a overview, get and share ideas with other projects.
Next Generation Campus Switching: Are You ReadyCisco Canada

Next Generation Ethernet
Next Generation Ethernet is a platform that should deliver all of previous function requirements under on hood. I have grouped the Generations in this way because Cisco has different purpose-built product lines for each of 4 waves of technology. Counter to that Extreme offers a platform solution for a customer to build his network on. Extreme does not require different switches to address different convergence requirements, this would be cost prohibitive for most customers and complicated. Simply put to disrupt the Cisco market, Extreme must deliver more with less.
The IEEE is pushing Ethernet to unimaginable speeds, with the 40/100Gigabit Ethernet standard expected to be ratified in 2010 and Terabit Ethernet on the drawing board for 2015. Here's a timeline showing key milestones in the growth of Ethernet Sstandard's-compliant products are expected to ship in the second half of next year, not long after the expected June 2010 ratification of the 802.3ba standard.
Complexity - Complex systems are a special type of chaotic system. They display a very interesting type of emergent behavior called, logically enough, complex adaptive behavior. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. There’s a need to back up a bit and describe a fundamental behavior that occurs at the granular level and leads to complex adaptive behavior. It is self -organization. Complex Adaptive Behavior is the name given to this forming-falling apart-reforming-falling apart-… behavior. Specifically it is defined as many agents working in parallel to accomplish a goal. It is conflict ridden, very fluid, and very positive. The hallmark of emergent, complex adaptive behavior is it brings about a change from the starting point that is not just different in degree but in kind. In biology a good example of this is the emergence of consciousness. Another example is the Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb. Below is a checklist that helps facilitate a qualitative assessment of the level of complexity. It is in everyday language to facilitate use by a broad range of stakeholders and team members. In other words, it stays away from jargon, which can be the kiss of death when requesting information from people.

Cisco's journey from Verbs to LibfabricJeff Squyres
This is one of two mini-talks that I gave at Euro MPI 2015 / Bordeaux.
It describes the journey Cisco undertook to evaluate two different Linux operating-system bypass APIs: Verbs and Libfabric. I detail the technical points we evaluated in both APIs, and ultimately show why we picked Libfabric over Verbs.
(Very) Loose proposal to revamp MPI_INIT and MPI_FINALIZEJeff Squyres
This is one of two mini-talks that I gave at Euro MPI 2015 / Bordeaux. It's mainly a taste of the kinds of discussions that we have at the MPI Forum. This particular talk is about some thoughts I've had about revamping MPI_INIT and MPI_FINALIZE. It is by NO means a finalized proposal -- it's mainly to give you an idea of the scope of ideas that are routinely discussed at the Forum. ...hey, you should attend MPI Forum meetings and see for yourself!
Fun with Github webhooks: verifying Signed-off-byJeff Squyres
An overview of an afternoon project I noodled around with one day to play with Ruby and Github Webhooks. I surprised myself by creating something somewhat actually useful.
Presentation given to the Kentucky Open Source Society (KyOSS) on July 8, 2015.
Slides presented by Jeff Squyres at the 2015 OpenFabrics Software Developers' Workshop. This talk discusses Cisco's experiences implementing an ultra-low latency Ethernet plugin / provider for the Linux Verbs API and for for the Libfabric API.
Slides presented by Jeff Squyres at the 2015 OpenFabrics Software Developers' Workshop. This talk discusses the current state and future plans for the use of Libfabric in Open MPI.
(Open) MPI, Parallel Computing, Life, the Universe, and EverythingJeff Squyres
This talk is a general discussion of the current state of Open MPI, and a deep dive on two new features:
1. The flexible process affinity system (I presented many of these slides at the Madrid EuroMPI'13 conference in September 2013).
2. The MPI-3 "MPI_T" tools interface.
I originally gave this talk at Lawrence Berkeley Labs on Thursday, November 7, 2013.
These are the slides that I presented at MOSSCon 2013 (slightly edited, because the original slides contained some animations that I morphed to look ok on Slideshare).
The general talk is about two things:
1. General philosophy of open source at Cisco.
2. My specific open source work at Cisco.
Enjoy!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
