Fujitsu A64FX Arm Processors come to Cray CS Supercomputers
December 5, 2019 by
In this video from SC19, Takeshi Horie from Fujitsu and Steve Scott from Cray describe how the powerful Arm-based A64fx Arm Processor will power the next generation of Cray CS Supercomputers. “We are delivering the development-to-deployment experience customers have come to expect from Cray, including exploratory development to the Cray Programming Environment (CPE) for Arm processors to optimize performance and scalability with additional support for Scalable Vector Extensions and high bandwidth memory.”
Cray User Group extends HPE customers an invitation to CUG 2020
November 27, 2019 by
The Cray User Group has extended an invitation for HPE HPC & AI customers to participate in the upcoming CUG 2020 event in Auckland, New Zealand. The move signals that the independent organization will continue now that Cray has been acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “CUG is an important user-driven event, and in collaboration with Cray and HPE, we’re excited to extend the invitation to a larger community of users,” said CUG president Colin McMurtrie. “The CUG Board continues to work on future events and is already planning an event for 2021.”
HPE and Cray Unveil HPC and AI Solutions Optimized for the Exascale Era
November 18, 2019 by
Today HPE announced it will deliver the industry’s most comprehensive HPC and AI portfolio for the exascale era, which is characterized by explosive data growth and new converged workloads such as HPC, AI, and analytics. “The addition of Cray, Inc., which HPE recently acquired, bolsters HPE’s HPC and AI solutions to now encompass an end-to-end supercomputing architecture across compute, interconnect, software, storage and services, delivered on premises, hybrid or as-a-Service. Now every enterprise can leverage the same foundational HPC technologies that power the world’s fastest systems, and integrate them into their data centers to unlock insights and fuel new discovery.”
Cray and Fujitsu to bring Game-Changing Arm A64FX Processor to Global HPC Market
November 12, 2019 by
Today Cray and Fujitsu announced a partnership to offer high performance technologies for the exascale era. Under the alliance agreement, Cray is developing the first-ever commercial supercomputer powered by the Fujitsu A64FX Arm-based processor with high-memory bandwidth (HBM) and supported on the proven Cray CS500 supercomputer architecture and programming environment.
AMD to Power Cray Shasta Supercomputer coming to AWE in the UK
November 5, 2019 by
Today Cray announced that the United Kingdom’s Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) has selected the Cray Shasta supercomputer to support security and defence of the U.K. Called Vulcan, AWE’s new machine powered by AMD EPYC processors will deliver approximately 7 petaflops of performance and play an integral role in maintaining the U.K.’s nuclear deterrent. “Shasta will bring Exascale Era technologies to bear on AWE’s challenging modeling and simulation data-intensive workload and enable the convergence of AI and analytics into this same workload, on a single system.”
New Cray ClusterStor E1000 to Power Exascale Workloads
October 30, 2019 by
Today Cray unveiled its Cray ClusterStor E1000 system, an entirely new parallel storage platform for the Exascale Era. “As the external high performance storage system for the first three U.S. exascale systems, Cray ClusterStor E1000 will total over 1.3 exabytes of storage for all three systems combined. ClusterStor E1000 systems can deliver up to 1.6 terabytes per second and up to 50 million I/O operations per second per rack – more than double compared to other parallel storage systems in the market today.”

October 25, 2019 by
Today Cray announced that the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS) in Germany has selected a new Cray CS-Storm GPU-accelerated supercomputer to advance its computing infrastructure in response to user demand for processing-intensive applications like machine learning and deep learning. “The Cray CS-Storm combined with the unique Cray-CS AI and Analytics suite will allow HLRS to better tackle converged AI and simulation workloads in the exascale era.”
ARCHER2 to be first Cray Shasta System in Europe
October 22, 2019 by
“The new ARCHER2 supercomputer will be the first Shasta system announced in EMEA and the second system worldwide used for academic research. ARCHER2 will be the UK’s most powerful supercomputer and will be equipped with the revolutionary Slingshot interconnect, Cray ClusterStor high-performance storage, the Cray Shasta Software platform, and 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors.”
AMD to Power Cray’s ARCHER2 Supercomputer in the UK
October 14, 2019 by
Following a procurement exercise, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) are pleased to announce that Cray, an HPE company, has been awarded the contract to supply the hardware for the next national supercomputer, ARCHER2. Powered by AMD EPYC processors, ARCHER2 will be deployed at the University of Edinburgh. “Needless to say, ARCHER2 represents a significant step forwards in capability for the UK science community, with the system expected to sit among the fastest fully general purpose (CPU only) systems when it comes into service in May 2020.”
