K1.2-B Hardware Architectures

elementary processing elements like CPUs, GPUs, many core architectures
vector systems, and FPGAs
the NUMA architecture used for symmetric multiprocessing systems where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to the processor
network demands for HPC systems (e.g. high bandwidth and low latency)
typical network architectures used for HPC systems, like fast Ethernet (1 or 10 Gbit) or InfiniBand
