Most other nations are publishing a steady, but smaller stream of QComm-related publications well behind what China is producing.

While SSDs were initially integrated almost exclusively into the largest and highest performing HPC systems, widespread HPC adoption of flash-based storage is now occurring due to the perfect storm evolution and intersection of requirements, technologies and economics.
