In this video from the HPC User Forum in Tucson, Jimmy Daley from HPE presents: HPE – Design Challenges at Scale.
“High performance clusters are all about high speed interconnects. Today, these clusters are often built out of a mix of copper and active optical cables. While optical is the future, the cost of active optical cables is 4x – 6x that of copper cables. In this talk, Jimmy Daley looks at the tradeoffs system architects need to make to meet performance requirements at reasonable cost.”
