Cray, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and services high performance computer systems, commonly known as supercomputers. Its products portfolio comprises Cray XT4 system that uses dual-core Opteron processors connected to its second generation high speed network; Cray XT3 system that uses single-core and dual-core opteron processors connected via its high-bandwidth interconnect network, as well as incorporates a parallel optimized operating system and a standards-based programming environment to deliver application performance in configurations from 100 to 30,000 processors; Cray X1E system, which incorporates vector and massively parallel processing capabilities; and Cray XD1 system that uses a Linux-based operating system in concert with its automated management infrastructure and accelerates application performance through the use of field programmable gate arrays. The company is also developing various programs, including BlackWidow that provides improvements in single thread scalar performance; Cray XMT, which offers global shared memory and high latency tolerance with 128 threads per processor; and Baker system that utilizes configurable interconnect system, which combines the interconnect technologies of the Cray XT and Cray XD1 systems, and quad-core and multi-core Opteron processors. In addition, it provides product integration, advanced computer training, project management, site engineering, application analyst support, hardware maintenance, and operating system support services. The company sells its products to government agencies, industrial companies, and academic institutions through direct sales force. It operates in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Asia-Pacific. The company was founded in 1987 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.
