The HPC (High Performance Computing) market is not really known for its Black Swan. The same interconnects have been available for years (Ethernet: ~30years, Infiniband: ~10years, Myrinet: ~12years, …) and the same player battle in the field (Cray : 1972, IBM: 1911, HP: 1939, …). Well, thats not so true anymore. In the last month, we saw:
- Rackable Systems buy SGI (who built 3.40 % of the current list of TOP500 supercomputer ; statistic in time available here).
- SiCortex wasn’t able to get a third financing round & close doors.
- Quadrics shut down.
And in the midst of all that:
Cray buy back its depts.
