ISTeC Cray High Performance Computing (HPC) SystemFunded by NSF, the new ISTeC Cray High Performance Computing System was built by Cray Inc., a computer company with a history of designing top supercomputers for industry, government and universities. The ISTeC Cray is a XT6m model with 2,016 cores (computing devices), 2.5 terabytes of main memory and 32 terabytes of disk storage. The ISTeC Cray High Performance Computing System will support large and complex problems in science and engineering, especially for data intensive applications; add greater physical fidelity to existing models; facilitate application of computing to new areas of research and discovery; and support training to attract new researchers to computational science, engineering and mathematics. A principal focus of the system will be data- and computing-intensive applications in NSF-funded research areas at CSU.
