Cray X1

By R&D Editors | May 31, 2004

Cray X1

The Cray X1 system is available with up to 52.4 trillion calculations per second (teraflops) of peak computing power and 65.5 terabytes of memory. The new product features ultra-fast (12.8 gigaflops) individual processors, up to 819 gigaflops (billions of calculations per second) of peak computing power in a single chassis, and a high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect for substantially more efficient scaling than on clustered SMP systems.
