Pcie4 X16 1-Port Edr 100 Gb Ib Connectx-5 Capi Capable Adapter (Fc Ec62 And Ec63; Ccin 2Cf1) - IBM 74Y4064 Handbook

PCIe4 x16 1-Port EDR 100 GB IB ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable Adapter (FC EC62 and
EC63; CCIN 2CF1)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EC62 and EC63
adapters.
Overview
FC EC62 and EC63 are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EC62 is a low-profile
adapter and FC EC63 is a full-height adapter.
The PCIe4 x16 1-Port enhanced data rate (EDR) 100 GB Infiniband (IB) ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable
Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 4 (Gen4) x16 adapter. The adapter can be used in either a x8
or x16 PCIe slot in the system. The adapter enables higher HPC performance with new Message Passing
Interface (MPI) offloads, such as MPI Tag Matching and MPI AlltoAll operations, advanced dynamic
routing, and new capabilities to perform various data algorithms. The PCIe4 x16 1-Port EDR 100 GB IB
ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable Adapter's ConnectX-5 Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing (ASAP2
technology enhances offloading of virtual switches and virtual routers, for example, Open V-Switch
(OVS), which results in significantly higher data transfer performance without overloading the CPU.
