In this video from the HPC User Forum at Argonne, Steve Scott from Cray presents: The Cray Shasta Architecture.

"Increasingly, high-performance computing systems today need to be able to handle massive converged modeling, simulation, AI and analytics workloads. With these needs driving scientific discovery and technology, the next generation of supercomputing will be characterized by the fastest exascale performance, data-centric workloads and diversification of processor architectures.

Shasta is an entirely new design, created from the ground up to address these needs. Built to be data-centric, it runs the fastest and most diverse workloads all at the same time. Hardware and software innovations tackle system bottlenecks in processing, data movement and I/O. It eliminates the distinction between clusters and supercomputers, providing a rich software and system interconnect in different form factors. It allows for multiple processor and accelerator architectures and a choice of system interconnect technologies, including our new Cray-designed and developed interconnect we call Slingshot."
