Cornelis introduces high-performance networking for AI and HPC
Cornelis Networks has introduced what it claims to be the world's highest-performance scale-out network for AI & HPC environments. The CN5000 family is a high-performance networking solution capable of supporting up to 500,000 endpoints and engineered to optimise compute utilisation and scalability. The CN5000 is engineered to enable AI and HPC applications to complete tasks faster and more predictably, boasting advanced lossless data transfer and congestion avoidance capabilities. It is reported to outperform InfiniBand NDR with double the message rates, 35% lower latency, and up to 30% faster simulation times for HPC workloads. For AI, the CN5000 is said to deliver six times faster collective communication compared to RoCE. Cornelis CEO Lisa Spelman said: 'Networking should do more than just move data quickly – it should unlock the full potential of every compute cycle. 'That's the performance we are offering customers with the CN5000 – a new breed of network-led application acceleration for AI and HPC applications where our scale-out network becomes a force-multiplier for performance at any scale.' The CN5000 family includes SuperNICs, switches, the OPX Software Suite, and a range of cabling options. The solution offers universal interoperability with hardware from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, among others, and supports OpenFabrics software stacks for vendor-neutral deployments. The Omni-Path architecture of the CN5000 ensures lossless and congestion-free data transmission, promising maximum performance, reliability, scalability, and data integrity. This architecture is influencing the Ultra Ethernet Consortium to bridge the performance gap in scale-out computing environments. Looking ahead, Cornelis has outlined a strategic innovation roadmap, with the CN6000 (800G) and CN7000 (1.6T) on the horizon. These future models aim to unify Omni-Path and RoCE-enabled Ethernet and integrate Ultra Ethernet Consortium standards, respectively. Shipping of the CN5000 is set to begin this month and it will be broadly available from Q3 2025 through major OEMs. "Cornelis introduces high-performance networking for AI and HPC" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.

Cornelis Networks releases tech to speed up AI datacenter connections
SAN FRANCISCO :Cornelis Networks on Tuesday released a suite of networking hardware and software aimed at linking together up to half a million artificial intelligence chips. Cornelis, which was spun out of Intel in 2020 and is still backed by the chipmaker's venture capital fund, is targeting a problem that has bedeviled AI datacenters for much of the past decade: AI computing chips are very fast, but when many of those chips are strung together to work on big computing problems, the network links between the chips are not fast enough to keep the chips supplied with data. Nvidia took aim at that problem with its $6.9 billion purchase in 2020 of networking chip firm Mellanox, which made networking gear with a network protocol called InfiniBand, which was created in the 1990s specifically for supercomputers. Networking chip giants such as Broadcom and Cisco Systems are working to solve the same set of technical issues with Ethernet technology, which has connected most of the internet since the 1980s and is an open technology standard. The Cornelis "CN5000" networking chips use a new network technology created by Cornelis called OmniPath. The chips will ship to initial customers such as the U.S. Department of Energy in the third quarter of this year, Cornelis CEO Lisa Spelman told Reuters on May 30. Although Cornelis has backing from Intel, its chips are designed to work with AI computing chips from Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices or any other maker using open-source software, Spelman said. She said that the next version of Cornelis chips in 2026 will also be compatible with Ethernet networks, aiming to alleviate any customer concerns that buying Cornelis chips would leave a data center locked into its technology. "There's 45-year-old architecture and a 25-year-old architecture working to solve these problems," Spelman said. "We like to offer a new way and a new path for customers that delivers you both the (computing chip) performance and excellent economic performance as well."
