About Cray - The Supercomputer Company

As the global leader in supercomputing, Cray Inc. provides innovative computing platforms that enable scientists and engineers in academia, government, and industry to meet both existing and future computational challenges on a wide variety of applications.

Cray supercomputers provide superior sustained performance on critical applications, scalability to handle larger problems and the reliability to run jobs to completion. This gives scientists and engineers the ability to not only get answers faster but also allows a broad spectrum of users to ask new questions.

Cray's Adaptive Supercomputing model is based on the idea that in order to achieve truly superior application performance, as well as address the need for higher user productivity, HPC systems must go a step beyond simply providing access to a variety of processing technologies. Different applications achieve optimal performance on different types of processors, but most high-performance computers typically offer only one type of processor. Adaptive Supercomputing combines multiple processing technologies in a single system and hides this complexity from the user through innovative new software technologies, allowing scientific and engineering problems to be solved more quickly — and programmers and end users to be more productive — by adapting processing to the requirements of each application.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Cray employs approximately 800 people worldwide, with additional research and manufacturing facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and sales and service locations around the world.
