Cray XT5 Upgraded to Six-Core Istanbul
The Cray XT5, which comes in at number one in the 500 top supercomputers in the world, is getting a performance bump. The supercomputer's 37,376 processors are being upgraded from quad-core to six-core AMD Istanbul processors. The $20 million upgrade resulted in performance of 1.759 petaflops, or the equivalent of 1,759 trillion calculations per second.
"The most interesting thing about the Jaguar is that they have actually upgraded an existing supercomputer," says John Fruehe, director of Opteron product marketing for AMD. "And they have managed to double its speed."
