Indian Institute of Technology Bombay deploys Cray to Power Research and Education
July 03 2018 - 9:00AM
Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq:CRAY) today announced
that the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), a
world-renowned global technology university, has selected a Cray®
XC50™ system and Cray® ClusterStor™ scale-out Lustre® storage
system to power breakthroughs in science, engineering research and
education. The new supercomputer, coupled with Cray’s
performance-engineered storage solution, will support IIT Bombay in
its mission to deliver transformative education to create leaders
and innovators.
Established in 1958 and located in Powai, Mumbai, IIT Bombay is
recognized worldwide as a leader in the field of engineering
education and research. The Cray system is expected to deliver peak
performance of 1 petaflops and will provide the Institute’s
students and faculty sustained performance and scalability for
driving computational scientific workloads.
“At IIT Bombay, we are committed to delivering the tools our
students need to perform and drive research at the university and
fuel advances that can benefit society and industry alike,” said
Prof. Devang V. Khakhar, Director, IIT Bombay. “Our new Cray
supercomputer and ClusterStor storage will accelerate student
researchers’ time to discovery and further cement our position as a
leading global technology university.”
“IIT Bombay selected Cray as a partner in extending support in
quality education and research programs because of the compelling
price/performance and capability that Cray systems deliver,” said
John Howarth, vice president of storage at Cray. “The combination
of the Cray XC supercomputer and the Cray ClusterStor storage
solution enables IIT Bombay to pursue the advanced research that is
critical to their strategic discoveries.”
Cray XC SeriesThe Cray XC series of
supercomputers is designed to handle the most challenging workloads
requiring the highest levels of performance. Cray XC supercomputers
incorporate the Aries™ high-performance network interconnect for
low latency and scalable global bandwidth; the HPC-optimized Cray
Linux® Environment; the Cray Programing Environment,
consisting of powerful tools for application developers; and the
latest Intel processors. Cray XC systems deliver on Cray’s
commitment to performance supercomputing with an architecture and
tightly integrated software environment that provides extreme
scalability and sustained performance.ClusterStor L300
Storage System The ClusterStor L300 storage system is an
all-HDD Lustre solution. It achieves performance requirements with
the lowest number of HDDs, enclosures and racks by maximizing the
performance of each storage device. The use of all HDDs makes it
well suited for environments using a few applications with large,
sequential I/O workloads.
