We invite all participants and attendees for an open discussion on advancements in high-performance interconnect for HPC, storage and cloud-computing. In this session we will talk about networks ranging from the high-end HDR Infiniband interconnect for flagship systems to virtualized clouds that can run HPC workloads as efficiently as bare-metal hardware. We will also talk upon emerging standards in high-performance flash based storage systems and how technologies like NVMe over fabrics is breaking the traditional storage bottlenecks. We will also cover user wish-lists and needs for future HPC implementations and would be happy to take it as a feature request for our subsequent offerings.
