A third option includes Cray’s new Slingshot technology, which has been designed for HPC and AI and can deliver five times as much bandwidth as traditional interconnects, the company said.Cray said Slingshot is compatible with Ethernet and will sport congestion control, adaptive routing and “high-level” quality of service capabilities. It will be interesting to see what new kinds of applications Cray’s platform can enable.”Cray said it’s planning to make Shasta commercially available by the end of 2019, so it’ll be some time that’s apparent. “This allows us to sustain well north of 90 percent utilization, even at large scale, for well-behaved workloads.”Cray is planning to offer two version of Shasta. Cray undertakes no duty to publicly announce or report revisions to these statements as new information becomes available that may change Cray’s expectations. “The flexibility and extensibility of El Capitan’s software and hardware environment will enable the NNSA laboratories to explore and develop capabilities that leverage the combination of AI and machine learning with modeling and simulation to accelerate time-to-solution for our national security codes. However, Cray will be offering a first look at its capabilities during the Also significant is that Shasta is said to be future-proofed for “exascale computing,” which should be feasible by 2021 or 2022 once the processing technology needed to enable this catches up.
