High-end scientific computation is critical to today's engineering and research communities. Computer simulations are driving research and opening up new avenues of exploration in the physical and biological sciences. From controlling hurricanes to tracking biological contamination, scientists and engineers are using supercomputers to expand boundaries in their fields, made possible by new high-performance computing (HPC) technologies.

Cray's customers are using supercomputers to solve their most difficult scientific and engineering challenges, ranging from earthquake modeling to improving the design performance of golf clubs.
