A Case for Today’s SuperClusters

• Because we need more compute power

• System Vendors moving away from large single system image machines because

  • Can’t architect them
  • Can’t afford them (system vendors aren’t building them)
  • Can’t maintain them (clusters provide for better RAS)

But we still need the compute and Storage Sharing that an ST enable System Area Network can provide.
