I found this description of the system to be very interesting: http://aurora.alcf.anl.gov/ Aurora is going to have a 3rd generation Xeon Phi with "2nd Generation Intel Omni-Path" and silicon photonics. So this is a Cray system using Intel's new off-the-shelf interconnect, the fruit of Intel's collaboration with Cray on interconnect. It's a large enough deal that I wouldn't read too much into who's the prime and who's the sub, there could be a lot of business reasons as to why this contract arrangement might make sense. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
