Interconnects Look to HPC List: Page 3 of 3

Seitz points out that organizations like the U.S. national labs have multiple supercomputing systems entered in the Top 500, so one might have Myrinet while another has Ethernet or another interconnect.

Until the figures actually materialize, speculation is moot. And at least one spokesman from the Top 500, Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee, isn't offering more than a reference to the general list.

But one thing is clear: Interconnect vendors care about supercomputing, and they're willing to fight for a piece of the action.
