Omni-Path is Intel’s next-generation networking interconnect that offers up to 100Gbps of bandwidth and will rely on Intel’s silicon photonics technology for signaling. The new standard offers up to 48 ports per switch compared to 36 ports on other top-end standards, and is designed to lower the cost of huge build-outs by reducing the total number of switches. The longterm goal is to reduce latency and allow for more effective scaling as the industry pushes forwards towards the elusive exascale goal.
