Interesting that Intel just released Stratix 10 DX, which I guess is a stop gap until this comes out.. I guess if you can't wait until 2021 when CXL is released, then this would be the solution, but seems short sighted.
No, Omni-Path was tanked bc it had no support from vendors other than Intel, and without that InfiniBand is clearly superior, even if you take the cost and energy savings from the fabric SKL-SP parts into account.
So will it finally be possible to build cache-coherent multiprocessors with chips from different manufacturers, where an Cortex-A79 can efficiently query the cache of an Icelake Xeon?

Is this with the next, new omni-path? Was this tanked because of CXL?dersteffeneilers - Monday, September 23, 2019 - link

I didn't realize Microchip made HPC products; I've always associated them with the PIC series of low power microcontrollers.TomWomack - Thursday, September 26, 2019 - link
