It was a big field to cover and they didn’t specifically come up in conversations, that was just an oversight on my part. Broadcom does design its own smart NIC SoC, and I will include them next time. Thanks! https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-connectivity/smartnic/bcm58800

Using HPC “cloud-friendly” offerings is not a fluid shared IaaS transaction. Sure, they are hosted in cloud data centers, but these are dedicated clusters and customers must contact cloud sales orgs for access. Plus, customer cluster configs are dedicated while in use. That said, something like Cray’s Slingshot interconnect might be really useful in future HPC clouds, but HPE acquired Cray and… hey, wait, HPE also took a big stake in Pensando…

IBM, Cray, National labs and the likes… what are they proposing?
