Abstract: “The lower the communications latency, the faster the time-to-solution.” This truism, though logical and truthful, is only useful to IT managers if it is accompanied by suggestions targeting ways to reduce communications latency. But help is here: a single-chip application-specific integrated circuit (
ASIC), optimized for communications patterns typically found in HPC applications, makes this truism ring truer.
