I’m only moderately impressed when computers are made faster by creating a larger “committee” of individual processors.

The challenge with these committees is connecting the individual processors together.

The article does say that 1) Summit has far fewer nodes than it's neighbor, Titan, and 2) Mellanox is working on 400GB/sec IB fabric fo the next generation.

Not only are these machines getting more powerful, they're getting smaller.
