The High-Performance Computing market is critical to both companies, both in terms of revenue and culture. NVIDIA and Mellanox have collaborated on HPC projects for many years, such as the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Labs, the fastest computer in the world (a joint effort with IBM). HPC needs fast networking, visualization, and AI, and these two companies are by far the leaders in those technologies; they both share a performance-centric culture. HPC has regained respect as a growth market, especially for NVIDIA. With their powers combined, they will be a strong contender for future HPC business, in the public and private sector.
