[Beowulf] HPE to acquire Cray

[Jonathan Aquilina]

Could there be potential for HP to integrate their own hardware into the mix or basically leave these projects as is since they were awarded before the acquisition by HPE. I would say anything is possible at this stage.

I'm wondering how this will impact the two CORAL-2 contracts that have been awarded already. Intel subcontracted Cray on Argonne's Aurora, and Cray just won ORNL's Frontier about a week ago.
Those are quite short-term projects, with tremendous ambitions and an expected delivery date in 2021, 2 years from now.

Such an acquisition surely can't be done without an impact on such monumental projects, and I'm wondering what route HPE will follow there.

Cheers,
