Jaguar Supercomputer
Cray XT5 Jaguar SupercomputerThe new petaflops machine will make it possible to address some of the most challenging scientific problems in areas such as climate modeling, renewable energy, materials science, fusion and combustion.
With more than three times the memory and bandwidth the Jaguar is powered by the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor as the first supercomputer to uses the X86 instruction set with all it's applications, compilers, and tools. Jaguar has hundreds of applications that have been ported and run on the Cray XT system, many of which have been scaled up to run on 25,000 to 150,000 AMD Opteron cores.
