The AMD — Cray Alliance

Bringing Scalable Supercomputing for High Performance Computing

Cray has partnered with AMD to offer AMD Opteron™ processors on the Cray XT series of massively parallel processor (MPP) systems. This powerful combination offers a new level of scalable computing where:

• a single powerful computing system handles the most complex problems
• every component is engineered to run massively parallel computing applications to completion, reliably and fast
• the operating system and management system are tightly integrated and designed for ease of operation at massive scale
• scalable performance analysis and debugging tools allow for rapid testing and fine tuning of applications
• highly scalable global I/O performance ensures high efficiency for applications that require rapid I/O access for large datasets

Building on the success of the Cray XT3 system, the Cray XT4 supercomputer brings new levels of scalability and sustained performance to high performance computing (HPC).

Engineered to meet the demanding needs of capability class HPC applications, each feature and function is selected in order to enable larger problems, faster solutions, and a greater return on investment. Designed to support the most challenging HPC workloads, the Cray XT4 supercomputer delivers scalable power for the toughest computing challenges.
