Intel is to embark on a partnership programme with supercomputing specialist
Cray Systems.
The two companies will develop the main components for a new generation of
supercomputers using multi-core chips and advanced interconnection methods.
The new systems will be targeted at traditional supercomputing markets, such
as engineering calculations and scientific modelling and analysis.
Cray president and chief executive Peter Ungaro said: "This collaboration
provides the HPC market segment with access to the best microprocessors the
industry has to offer at any point in time, in the most advanced supercomputers
in the world."
The two companies expect the initiative to bear fruit in 2010, when Cray
plans to ship the first of its Cascade line of supercomputers.
The Cascade project, which is partially backed by a grant from the US Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, is an attempt to use multiple processor types
and computing methods in a 'hybrid' supercomputer.
The move also marks a win for Intel. Cray had originally planned to base
Cascade on chips from rival vendor AMD.
