Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. Next generation architectures will use CXL3.0 petaflops, which is 0.8% of peak capacity.

However, Redis, with its single-threaded architecture, may encounter bottlenecks with large numbers of concurrent connections.
