Technology

For HPC users who strive to be on the cutting edge, the Cray CX1000 series delivers uncompromised performance utilizing the most important HPC architectures of the next decade, all from the company that knows supercomputing the best.

The Cray CX1000 system is a dense, power efficient and supremely powerful rack-mounted supercomputer that allows you to leverage the latest Intel® Xeon® processors for:

  • Scale-out cluster computing using dual-socket Intel Xeon 5600s (Cray CX1000-C)
  • Scale-through (GPU) computing leveraging NVIDIA Tesla® (Cray CX1000-G)
  • Scale-up commputing with SMP nodes built on Intel's QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology offering "fat memory" nodes (Cray CX1000-S)

High(brid) Performance Computing - The Cray CX1000 redefines HPC by delivering hybrid capabilities through a choice of chassis, each delivering one of the most important architectures of the next decade. While hybrid architectures often compromise individual capabilities in the quest for multi-purpose flexibility, the Cray CX1000 system doesn’t. Each of the Cray CX1000's technologies is best-of-class and can be mixed-and-matched in a single rack, creating a customized hybrid computing platform to meet a variety of scientific workloads.

Cray CX1000-C
Compute-based Cray CX1000-C chassis includes 18 dual-socket Intel Xeon 5600 blades with an integrated 36-port QDR InfiniBand switch and a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch – all in 7U. With support for Windows® HPC Server 2008 or Red Hat Linux via the Cray Cluster Manager, the Cray CX1000-C system provides outstanding support for ISV applications as well as dual-boot capability for ultimate application flexibility. The Cray CX1000-C system maintains Cray’s “Ease of Everything” approach by incorporating blades, switches and cabling all within a single chassis. The result is an easy-to-install system with compelling capabilities for scale-out high performance computing.

Cray CX1000-G
GPU-based Cray CX1000-G chassis delivers nine double-width, dual-socket Intel Xeon 5600 blades, each incorporating two NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. Cray CX1000-G systems allow users to maximize GPU performance with its unique architecture by eliminating I/O bottlenecks – an industry first. These 7U systems include an integrated 36-port QDR InfiniBand switch and a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch. The Cray CX1000-G system is the best solution to your density limitations by offering 18 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs in a 7U form factor. Combining Intel Xeon 5600 performance with NVIDIA Tesla-based acceleration offers true hybrid computing options.

Cray CX1000-S
SMP-based Cray CX1000-S server is offered in two configurations, offering up to 128 Intel® Xeon® 7500 series processors and 1 TB of memory in a 6U system. The Cray CX1000-SC compute node is made up of uniquely designed 1.5U "Building Blocks", each housing 32 cores interconnected using Intel QPI. The Cray CX1000-SM management node is a 3U server with four Intel Xeon 7500 series processors (32 cores) and up to 256 GB of memory.

The Cray CX1000 product is available in standard configurations with a choice of front-to-back (room-assisted) cooling or an optional water-cooled door allowing for greater density and cooling efficiency. Additionally, each system can be tailored to your unique workload, whether you need scale-out, scale-up, accelerated computing technologies or a combination.

Each Cray CX1000 system delivers performance and flexibility in a form factor that paradoxically makes them easy to install and manage. Both InfiniBand and Ethernet are delivered through the chassis backplane, resulting in no external cables to interconnect the system nodes. A small powerful cluster can be delivered through one Cray CX1000-C chassis, a head node and two cables (one InfiniBand and one Ethernet). Expansion is equally simple, making Cray CX1000 systems both powerful and easy to implement.

ScaleMP

ScaleMP

ScaleMP™ is the leader in virtualization for high-end computing, providing higher performance and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The innovative Versatile SMP™ (vSMP) architecture aggregates multiple x86 systems into a single virtual x86 system, delivering an industry-standard, high-end symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computer. Using software to replace custom hardware and components, ScaleMP offers a new, revolutionary computing paradigm.

vSMP Foundation enables the creation of a single virtual system by aggregating multiple industry-standard x86 systems. The Cray CX1 and vSMP foundation supports SMP functionality from two nodes (16 cores) up to a maximum configuration across two chassis (128 cores) with 1TB of shared systems memory.

vSMP Foundation uses blade or rack-mounted systems and InfiniBand to offer tremendous price/performance advantages for the HPC market. In essence, it provides a unique way to leverage entry-level systems to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). It delivers the operational simplicity of traditional shared-memory systems while keeping the acquisition cost associated with clusters. It is ideal for HPC applications benefitting from large memory, high core-count coupled with shared memory. It also simplifies cluster deployments by reducing the number of operating systems to one.

Cray Inc. is an authorized global reseller of vSMP Foundation.
