“When we integrate the fabric structure for future HPC systems, there are a number of benefits we can discuss from an end-user perspective. Fundamentally it’s power, cost and capability. First, by bringing fabric integration to work-class silicon, we give it the advantage of Moore’s Law – an advantage it might not have elsewhere. The densest transistors in the world, the best performing logic transistors, are now also the transistors driving more complicated logic that drives the NIC and the interconnect. This has a direct impact on both the power requirements and the total cost.”
