At one point it seems Myrinet was as dominant as Mellanox is now. It was very exciting at the time to get something better than ethernet, and way cheaper than SGI. Huge resistance from the developers who were used to ethernet, which still hasn't gone away. I don't think it was just the price or marketing (although Mellanox at least had sales people -- never heard from anyone at Myricom even after buying $$ of gear). Mellanox always seemed to be pushing the envelope, which might have been more R&D dollars. Never had problems with IB not working (CX-4 and up) but I guess the gremlins depend on scale. |
