Re: Could be similar to Azul's Vega chips
"Azul Systems very successfully built massively parallel compute appliances last decade. They put 54 CPUs on a die, and 16 fully meshed chips per server, for 864 CPUs in a flat memory space machine. And that was with floating point units and 64 bit support."
I was on the receiving end of an Azul sales pitch - they were pitching their boxes to run our pricing models, but they refused to share any kind of floating point benchmarks with us. They also refused to allow us to benchmark the pricing models in a PoC because they would make heavy use of floating point.
I was left with the impression Azul were looking for customers who wanted to buy a box to look at rather than run software.
