Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Puts Cray XC40 Supercomputer Into Production
September 18 2017 - 4:05PM
Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq:CRAY) today announced
the Japan Advanced Institute for Science and Technology (JAIST) has
put a Cray® XC40™ supercomputer into production. JAIST, a
postgraduate university located in Nomi, Ishikawa, Japan and one of
the country’s premier academic research centers, is using its new
Cray XC40 system as it primary supercomputing resource supporting
computational research across the University.
The three-cabinet Cray XC40 supercomputer is the latest in a
long history of Cray systems used to advance scientific research at
JAIST. Previous Cray supercomputers at JAIST have included the Cray
T3E™, Cray XT3™, and Cray XC30™ systems. In addition to powering
data-intensive research in a wide array of scientific disciplines
at JAIST, the new Cray XC40 supercomputer will also help speed
advancements in the development of new algorithms for
highly-parallel computers and will perform large-scale simulations
in nanotechnology and biomechanics.
“JAIST is committed to conducting world-class research
activities that leverage the abilities of our highly-skilled
faculty members and students, our advanced research facilities, and
cutting-edge technologies, and Cray supercomputers continue to play
a vital role in our efforts,” said Yasushi Inoguchi, Professor of
the Research Center for Advanced Computing Infrastructure, JAIST.
“Our new Cray XC40 supercomputer will support our mission of
becoming a premier center of excellence in education and
research.”
“Cray has enjoyed a long, collaborative partnership with JAIST,
and we continue to take great pride in providing the University’s
user community with advanced supercomputing technologies for
achieving breakthrough results,” said Mamoru Nakano, president of
Cray Japan. “The addition of this new Cray system at the JAIST is
another example of our continued drive to expand our presence in
Japan.”
The Cray XC series of supercomputers are designed to handle the
most challenging workloads requiring sustained multi-petaflop
performance. The Cray XC40 supercomputers incorporate the Aries
high performance network interconnect for low latency and scalable
global bandwidth, as well as the latest Intel® Xeon processors,
Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors, and NVIDIA® Tesla® GPU accelerators.
The Cray XC supercomputers deliver on Cray’s commitment to
performance supercomputing with an architecture and software
environment that provides extreme scalability and sustained
performance.
