4. What End Users Have Said to SiCortex
Truly power constrained
Maximize capacity on a fixed power budget
“Enough” capacity on a fixed power budget
Limited resources
HPC when you don’t have (or want) a data center
No compelling reason to care
“power is not in my budget”
But lower power wins other factors are equal
Truly don’t care
“I have my own power plant”
