System-on-a-chip technology allows a level of integration that can be leveraged to develop inexpensive high-performance, low-power computing nodes. When used in aggregate, this approach promises to challenge conventional supercomputer architectures in the high-performance computing arena. Systems under consideration reach into the hundreds of thousand nodes per machine. Architecture for these systems are described.
