Delivering Superior Solutions for the Earth Sciences Community

The Earth Sciences community has traditionally played a key role in defining the requirements of high performance computing platforms and peripherals, and will continue to do so for years to come. The diversity of applications and processing of large data volumes as well as the requirements for increasing levels of throughput, system robustness and faster turn-around time create an environment which pushes the limits of high performance computing. Cray is actively engaged with leaders in the Earth Sciences field, advancing HPC capabilities for this scientific community.

Cray Inc.'s unique solutions are designed specifically to meet the earth sciences community's demands for high performance and reliability. Cray systems such as the Cray XK6 and Cray XE6 massively parallel supercomputers are purpose-built for HPC applications, delivering high performance, balanced capability computing. Only systems designed for HPC capability allow scientists and forecasters to produce results in the shortest amount of time possible while investigating increasingly complex phenomena.
