Intel® Cluster Ready
The Cray CX1 supercomputer is a certified Intel Cluster Ready system. The certification program was designed to establish a common specification among original equipment manufacturers, independent software vendors (ISVs) and others for designing, programming and deploying clusters built with Intel components. For users, the certification means that the Cray CX1 system will support a wide range of Intel Cluster Ready ISV applications out of the box.
Why Intel Cluster Ready?
Find the right configuration, right away.
 Take the complexity out of purchasing an HPC cluster. Choose a certified Intel Cluster Ready system to reduce the time and risk of selecting a collection of independent hardware components for your applications. Certified Intel Cluster Ready systems have been thoroughly tested to ensure component interoperability.
Know that it works.
Select a certified Intel Cluster Ready system for your registered Intel Cluster Ready applications so you can be confident that hardware and software components will work together, right out of the box. Software tools such as Intel® Cluster Checker help ensure that those components continue to work together, delivering a high level of quality and a low total cost of ownership over the course of the cluster’s lifetime.
Solve new problems.
Capitalize on the power of an Intel processor–based HPC cluster to enhance productivity and solve new problems. Intel Cluster Ready helps you realize HPC benefits faster by ensuring application and system interoperability.
How Does It Work?
Working with HPC ecosystem partners, Intel has defined the Intel Cluster Ready Specification—a common basis for building clusters and registering applications for HPC. The specification—which includes requirements for hardware, software, manageability, and functionality—helps to make sure that each cluster component conforms to industry standards or, if no standard exists, best-of-class practices. Intel provides the specification to hardware vendors, software vendors, and systems integrators so they can build certified Intel Cluster Ready clusters and develop registered Intel Cluster Ready applications.
By creating a common basis for clusters, the Intel Cluster Ready Specification also gives you the flexibility to customize your system based on your specific needs. Choose from a variety of hardware and software components that conform to the specification when you are first deploying the cluster or make modifications as your requirements change.
