Higher Education

The HPC domain in Higher Education ranges through all the traditional basic sciences and engineering fields and today also includes life and social sciences. Cray’s use of open standards in software (Linux-based operating system, MPI and OpenMP programming models) and powerful, flexible computing systems allow researchers in higher education be leaders in their fields.

The Cray XT5, with its petascale design, meets the challenge of being the ultimate scalable MPP system, while also being cost competitive and capable as a mid-range departmental system. 

The Cray XMT is specifically designed to solve the most challenging database problems of today and is ideal as a research tool in this domain. 

The Cray CX1 deskside system, providing personal supercomputing, is an excellent research and development system for the individual or small research group.  The CX1 with either Microsoft HPC Server 2008 or RedHat Linux allows for integration into any current research environment.
