 | | Organizations that have recently selected the Cray XD1 system include CINECA, the largest Italian computing consortium comprising 25 universities and the country's national research council, and the U.S. Air Force's Maui High Performance Computing Center, which is one of the top supercomputer sites in the United States Department of Defense. |
 | | In the Cray XD1 system architecture, optional field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) act as high-speed co-processors that can accelerate critical calculations as much as 30 to 100 times, resulting in significant decreases in the time required to run applications. |
