[Beowulf] Dual IB Cards in a Single Box

[Jörg Saßmannshausen]

Hi Paul,

if that is a Mellanox network I would have thought that putting in a single, 
dual port HDR InfiniBand card would do the trick as well. From what I 
understand, the HDR will use the slower FDR speed when the other end is only 
EDR. 
I done a similar setup with a mixed network where the switch is FDR but some 
of the nodes are only QDR and here the connection is throttled down to QDR.

I might, of course, be wrong here. 

All the best from a sunny London

Jörg
