The Cray XC50 is a massively parallelmultiprocessorsupercomputer manufactured by Cray.[1] The machine can support IntelXeonprocessors, as well as CaviumThunderX2 processors, Xeon Phi processors and NVIDIATesla P100 GPUs.[2] The processors are connected by Cray's proprietary "Aries" interconnect, in a dragonfly network topology.[1] The XC50 is an evolution of the XC40, with the main difference being the support of Tesla P100 processors and the use of Cray software release CLE 6 or 7.[3]
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) has deployed a Cray XC50 system named Spacetime with a peak performance of 1 petaflops coupled with Cray ClusterStor L300 Lustre storage system.[5]
The Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) will install five XC50 cabinets and a 720 TB Cray ClusterStor L300 for storage to gain insights on rail transportation. This is their third Cray machine after acquiring an XC30 and CS300, both in 2013.[12]
Cray is developing a XC50 system with ARM processors called Isambard.[19][20] This will be used for a consortium of Bristol, Bath, Cardiff and Exeter universities.[20]
