The Convergence of Hyperscale Data Center and High-Performance Computing Networks
Torsten Hoefler, Ariel Hendel, Duncan Roweth
Abstract
We discuss the differences and commonalities between network technologies used in supercomputers and data centers and outline a path to convergence at multiple layers. We predict that emerging smart networking solutions will accelerate that convergence.
