[Beowulf] Intel buys QLogic InfiniBand business

[Joshua mora acosta]

Do you mean IB over QPI ?
Either way, High Node Count Coherence will be an issue.
In any case, by acquiring their IP it is a step forward towards SoC (System on
Chip). A preliminary step (building block) for the Exascale strategy and for
low cost enterprise/cloud solutions.
