Now I've seen the Cray PR it seems it might not be as closely coupled as 
it initially reads..

It's interesting as Cray have jumped back to using AMD CPUs (Epyc) 
alongside nVidia GPUs, in conjunction with a new interconnect (Slingshot).


I've got to say that the name of the new NERSC system reminds me of 
people struggling to program in a particular scripting language.. ;-)
