HPE HDR InfiniBand Adapters QuickSpecs
Designed for customers who need low latency and high bandwidth InfiniBand interconnect in their high-performance computing (HPC) systems.
HPE HDR InfiniBand 200 GB 1-port QSFP56 and HPE HDR100 InfiniBand 100 GB 1 or 2 port QSFP56 Adapters are supported on HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers and HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers but a different part number is to be ordered based on server generation. They are industry standard adapters with no HPE customization when used with HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers. They are HPE versions developed on HPE specifications when used with HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. Differences from the industry standard versions are primarily related to the management features implemented in the firmware.

HPE HDR InfiniBand and Ethernet 200 GB adapters are based on Mellanox ConnectX®-6 VPI and Socket Direct® technologies. They support all InfiniBand and Ethernet data rates for HPE ProLiant XL and DL Servers. The single ported cards can function as a single port HDR InfiniBand card, or a single port 200 GB Ethernet card; the dual ported cards can function, within a 200 GB maximum aggregated bandwidth per card, as a dual ported HDR InfiniBand card, a dual ported 200 GB Ethernet card, or a mixed function card.
HPE HDR100 InfiniBand and Ethernet 100 GB adapters are based on Mellanox ConnectX®-6 VPI technology. They support dual-function InfiniBand and Ethernet for HPE ProLiant XL and DL Servers. The single ported card can function as a single port HDR100 InfiniBand card, or a single port 100 GB Ethernet card; the dual ported card can function as a dual ported HDR100 InfiniBand card, a dual ported 100 GB Ethernet card, or a mixed function card. It is designed for customers who need low latency and high bandwidth interconnect up to 100 GB in their high-performance computing (HPC) systems. HDR100 adapters coupled with HDR 40 port switches via HDR splitter cables provide simplified fabrics, requiring less equipment while achieving the same performances as the previous InfiniBand generation.
The Mellanox ConnectX®-6 VPI adapters combined with HDR InfiniBand Switches deliver low latency and up to 200 Gbps injection bandwidth, ideal for performance driven server and storage clustering applications in HPC and enterprise data centers.
HPE HDR InfiniBand 200 GB 2-port QSFP56 and HPE HDR InfiniBand 200 GB 1 or 2 port QSFP56 OCP3 Adapters are supported on HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers only.

HDR InfiniBand or 200G Ethernet Throughput
The HPE HDR100 adapters deliver up to 100 Gbps HDR100 InfiniBand per port while the HPE HDR adapters deliver up to 200 Gbps HDR InfiniBand, providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks that impact performance of customers’ applications. They are ideal for high performance computing clusters and datacenter servers that require low latency and high bandwidth networking. These adapters also support Ethernet and can deliver up to 200G Ethernet throughput. The HPE HDR100 2p adapters can deliver 100G Ethernet total on Gen10 servers and 200G total (2x 100G) on Gen10 Plus servers. The HPE HDR 2p adapters can deliver 200G Ethernet total (load balancing or 1x 200G) on Gen10 Plus servers.
Notes:
− The HPE IB HDR/EN 200 GB 1p QSFP56 adapter for Gen10 Servers (P06154-H21/-B21 + P06154-H22/H23/B22/B23) presents itself as two logical devices, each attached to a different processor. If the RHEL inbox OFED driver is used, the application will have to feed the two devices to leverage the full performance of the adapter. If the Mellanox OFED is used instead, the application will see only one device and full performance is obtained transparently.
− For the adapters described in this document, QSFP ports when used as Ethernet do not support splitter cables (Only one MAC address available per port).
