Cray XC40
XC40 cabinet (front) with 48 blades in groups of 16, each blade contains 4 nodes.
The Cray XC40 is a massively parallel multiprocessor supercomputer manufactured by Cray. It consists of Intel Haswell Xeon processors, with optional NVIDIA Tesla or Intel Xeon Phi accelerators, connected together by Cray's proprietary "Aries" interconnect, stored in air-cooled or liquid-cooled cabinets.[1] The XC series supercomputers are available with the Cray DataWarp applications I/O accelerator technology.[2]
