Cray Launches XT5 Family of Supercomputers
Cray Inc. today launched the Cray XT5 family of supercomputers, marking a significant step toward Cray’s vision of adaptive supercomputing. Incorporating all the benefits of the successful Cray XT line, the Cray XT5 massively parallel processor (MPP) system includes a new compute blade that quadruples local memory capacity, doubles processor density and improves energy efficiency for a significant reduction in total cost of ownership for customers. Continuing to drive industry leadership in extreme scalability, the Cray XT5 family also includes the industry’s first integrated hybrid supercomputer, the Cray XT5h TM system. With new programming paradigms and processor technologies, the Cray XT5h system optimizes application efficiency and helps customers tackle problems that cannot currently be solved on a single architecture system.
The Cray XT5 system is the world’s most scalable Linux-based supercomputer. It combines unprecedented sustained application performance with exceptional manageability, lower cost of ownership and broad application and tools support to large supercomputer class machines. A number of prominent independent software vendors (ISVs) have pledged their support of the new system, including CD-adapco, Exa Corporation, Livermore Software Technology Corp. (LSTC) and Software Cradle.
