SR007: The Emergence of High Performance Interconnects

The Emergence of High Performance Interconnects

Multi-processor architectures have been used to improve application performance since the 1960s which has significant impacts upon system and software design as well as the orchestration required to coordinate communication between processors, memory, storage, networks and any other component that affects workload performance.

The larger or more complex the workload the more important it is that the components of the system are well balanced and do not create a choke point that impairs expected performance.
