Take

• Paper writing

  • Need elaborations on the system motivations

  • Need comparisons on alternative designs and benchmarks

  • Which components work the best

• General stuff about industrial paper

  • Develop under specific architecture and design, would it generalize to research projects in other companies and labs

• Some discussions

  • How does this differ from infiniband besides fundamental approach it takes

  • How will upgrade look like in a clique-based topology

  • Dragonfly topology costs

    • All connected [wire cost] v.s Switch cost of additional routing

    • Within a clique
