>Given the way they handled "The Machine" though Tell me more...I'm an HPE fan, and live near Ft Collins, get to tour the lab sometimes. I see progress being made but maybe its not in a very public way. Biggest thing I could add is that the 'Machine' is not a reference architecture or target...its a pipeline of research that (by visual accounts) is continuing...

Well, here is how they announced “The Machine” back in 2014: This changes everything,” said HP CEO Meg Whitman in introducing the Machine in her HP Discover 2014 keynote in Las Vegas. “We’ve been talking about many of the component technologies for some time,” she noted. “Now we’re bringing them together in a single project to make a revolutionary compute architecture available by the end of the decade.” Since then, not a lot. HP Labs has done a lot of sexy things, but HPE as a business is big on hype, bad on delivery. Hopefully Cray won’t be the same

  HP was big on hype. HPE spun off in 2017 and is big on contracts.

That was not at all clear from their public messaging. the Machine may very well be a concept but it was messages like a revolutionary product

I disagree. They announced it as a revelutionary computing system that would change they way all computers would be built. They then chipped away at features until there was litle interesting left... I followed these stories with real interest and was left disappointed. 2014: https://www.engadget.com/2014/06/11/hp-the-machine/ https://www.engadget.com/2014/06/11/hp-the-machine/ 2016: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/11/hpe-machine-prototype/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/11/hpe-machine-prototyp...
