HPC vendor and provider of the most innovative technology today," said
Peter Ungaro, Cray president and CEO. "In particular, these awards reflect
the enthusiasm in the marketplace that has greeted our Cray XT3™, Cray
XD1™ and Cray X1E™ supercomputers, which are setting the standard for
performance, scalability and cost-effective operation at customer sites
around the world. As HPC continues to enable researchers to make stunning
breakthroughs in science and engineering, Cray is committed to leading the
way with systems that push the boundaries of technology, meeting the
demanding real-world application requirements of HPC users and their
organizations."
About the Cray XD1 Supercomputer
The Cray XD1 supercomputer combines direct-connect system architecture,
HPC-optimized Linux, management and reconfigurable computing technologies
to deliver industry-leading performance on real-world applications.
Purpose-built for demanding HPC applications such as computational
chemistry, environmental forecasting and computer aided engineering, the
Cray XD1 system lets users simulate, analyze and solve complex problems
more quickly and accurately. The x86-based Cray XD1 system supports a broad
range of 32- and 64-bit HPC applications on AMD Opteron single- or
dual-core processors. The system also provides application acceleration
capabilities using
field-programmable gate array technology directly connected to the Cray XD1
compute environment.
About the Cray XT3 Supercomputer
The Cray XT3 supercomputer is the third generation MPP system from Cray,
purpose-built to offer scientists and engineers an HPC system that delivers
exceptional sustained application performance to handle their most
challenging problems. The Cray XT3 supercomputer's high speed 3D torus
interconnect, x86 64-bit AMD Opteron™ processors, high speed global I/O,
and advanced MPP operating system are designed to ensure that applications
scale steadily from 200 to more than 30,000 processors without performance
losses from communications bottlenecks, asynchronous processing or memory
access delays.
