Cray XE6 Series with AMD Opteron 6300 Processors

Cray XE6 and Cray XE6m supercomputers are available with the new AMD Opteron 6300 Series processor, using its next-generation “Piledriver” core. With a performance-per-watt that is up to 40 percent higher than prior generations, the processors are designed to enhance power efficiency with more application performance within the same power budget. The supercomputer series combines the Gemini system interconnect with AMD Opteron processors and is designed to bring production petascale computing to an expanded base of HPC users. Fully upgradeable from the Cray XT5 and Cray XT6 line of supercomputers, the series delivers improved interconnect performance and network resiliency, a mature and scalable software environment, and the ability to run a broad array of ISV applications with the latest version of the Cray Linux Environment.
