What's Next for HPC? A Q&A with Michael Kagan, CTO of Mellanox - insideHPC

Michael Kagan: The ever-growing demand for higher performance drives technology innovations for HPC, which then spreads to other markets. We have witnessed several technology transitions over the years, such as the transition from SMP to clusters, or from single core to multi-core. We are now going through another technology transition, which some call Co-Design. There are many technology efforts to re-architect the data center from a CPU-centric architecture to a data-centric architecture in order to overcome the new performance bottlenecks. The new data centers will need to allow data operations and analysis everywhere in order to get insights in real time.
