[Beowulf] [EXTERNAL] Re: HPE completes Cray acquisition

[Lux, Jim (US 337K)]

“A HPE company” seems sort of bloodless and corporate.  I would kind of hope for  something like “CRAY – How Fast Do You Want to Go?” or something like that to echo back to their long history of “just make it fast”

These companies compliment each other. HPE is working on some very cool technologies and their purchasing power should help reduce costs. Cray has experience with the leadership-scale systems, several generations of HPC interconnects, and optimizing scientific software.

We are waiting to find out which logo(s) will be on the Frontier when it lands.


I expect that will be the one that seems to be all over announcements
