HPCWire, Mellanox Roars Through Second Quarter As InfiniBand Revenue Takes Off, here.  Romley deliveries pushes InfiniBand Sales up. 

With the rollout of high performance, lossless Ethernet products over the last few years, there were more than a few analysts predicting the slow retreat of InfiniBand. But thanks to a peculiar confluence of technology roadmaps, a payoff in some investments made by Mellanox, and a pent-up demand for server and storage deployment now being alleviated by Intel’s Romley platform, InfiniBand is having a big year.

Sometimes you just need to draw a line in the sand.

 What I really want to rant about today though is something else, namely posers. There are far too many posers out there in the land of data scientists, and it’s getting to the point where I’m starting to regret throwing my hat into that ring.
