Whats is the role of Ethernets in the annual HPC TOP500 list? Ethernet Alliance Chairman, John DAmbrosia of Dell offers some terrific insight in this article over at Scientific Computing: bit.ly/1qr7lUW In this piece, John says trying to get a sense of Ethernets role in HPC by looking at just the premiere spots on the TOP500 list isnt effective. He explains that Ethernet’s story is one where “when good is enough”, meaning that the performance is sufficient for the cost incurred. However, he also explains that this philosophy is counter to the HPC space, where eking out every last nuance of performance is a must. John suggests that an in-depth review of all TOP500 lists of the past 21 years offers a more robust and complete view of Ethernets role in HPC. In the remainder of his article, he does just that. John provides in-depth analysis of current and historical TOP500 lists, including trends, major developments, and more. Its a great look at Ethernets position in the TOP500 list, so check out Johns article now at Scientific Computing: bit.ly/1qr7lUW
