Introduction

The FabreX Operating System is the software engine that drives the performance and dynamic composability of GigaIO software-defined infrastructure (SDI) for enterprise data centers and high-performance computing environments. This Linux-based, resource-efficient software layers onto FabreX hardware for easy-to-use composing of computing clusters on-the-fly. The FabreX Operating System is composed of three main components: 1) Server software, 2) Switch software, and 3) Management software. The Server software runs on Linux and provides libfabric functionality for use with MPICH for HPC applications. It also provides a TCP/IP interface for communication between servers. The FabreX Switch software runs on an embedded switch controller and provides dynamic composability and communications between servers. The FabreX Operating System and associated hardware provide extreme connectivity for the following applications: AI/ML/DL; Cloud Computing; Edge Computing and HPC. The flexibility of the FabreX interconnect breaks the constraints of old architectures, opening up possibilities for new configurations that maximize utilization of all elements within your advanced scale computing systems. Users can choose from a variety of software packages to build the cluster configurations needed. Composer Pack Single-Host Expansion Includes: FabreX OS + Management Module + GigaIO CLI + Composition Module The Composer Pack features full disaggregation and dynamic composability for deep and wide IO tree configurations. Multiple FabreX switch configurations enable flexible IO expansion including super servers, cascading, and resource partitioning. FabreX OS also supports GPUDirect for direct access to third-party memory using the standard features of PCIe. Leader Pack Multi-host Clusters Includes: Everything in Composition Pack + Cluster Module The Cluster Module provides true multi-host to host communication in single-switch systems. The Leader Pack adds more power for parallel processing and fast access to distributed memory by integrating MPI, NVMe-oF, and TCP/IP. Maestro Pack Large Multi-Rack Systems Includes: Everything in Leader Pack + Network Pack For true composability in large computing systems where you need more clusters and multiple racks, add the Network Pack. You’ll have all the benefits of the Leader Pack but also the ability to manage multiple Leaderconfigured switches, for quick scaling of your system to meet your largest workloads.
