The breakthrough technology of the MSP can solve the user's large, data-intensive problems. With the Cray SV1's unique combination of processors, customers can solve tougher problems in more ways than ever before. Scalability Scalable up to clustered systems, the Cray SV1 supercomputer shatters previous scalability records for vector performance. Cray Inc. The unique architecture of the Cray SV1 supercomputer allows users to exercise unprecedented flexibility with a vector system. Within each system, the processors are configured in a symmetric multiprocessing configuration, such as that found in the Cray T90 TM and Cray J90 TM series.
All current applications can run on a single node without modification.
To build larger configurations, up to 32 systems can be connected via Cray superclustering technology. This innovation substantially increases effective memory bandwidth while using cost-effective DRAM memory technology. Many Cray J90 users have run their systems continuously for years without a system interruption. The Cray SV1 supercomputer is the first product in a series of systems that combine industry-leading expertise in both vector processing and scalable computing. In coming years, Cray Inc. plans enhancements that will offer even larger gains in per-processor performance and scalability.
