- jacquesm 4y agoNot quite. Beowulf clusters tend to use regular networking interfaces for IPC (and sometimes more specialized ones). This would not even necessarily have to be one die, that doesn't matter so much as long as it gets packaged as a single SKU. All of the interconnect would be the same as it is on this 80 core sample here. Typically I have about 400 processes running on a machine with several hundred more threads. That's within striking distance of this kind of device. Just a few more iterations and we'll be there, and a multi socket solution would already get very close. The next step would be to integrate the memory.
