[Beowulf] Pony: not yours.

Interesting, but depressing, presentation.

At HotInterconnects in 2011, Intel gave a presentation about the reductions
in power per flop over time. The corresponding communication power
consumption per bit was flat (no improvement). Projecting the trends
forward and with a 20 Mw power budget, an exascale machine's network would
consume all the power leaving nothing for computation.
