More another shot towards fragmentation. PCIe is something that (more or less) everyone can implement. Not much margin. Special interconnects (on board or between boards) are an open game. There are related announcements from Intel. I'm kinda shocked (well, no, but I wish I were) at the lack of such an announcement from AMD. Note also the "energy efficient" bits of these announcements. That is important for exascale, but it isn't the only project with funding. -- Jason _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
