Industry Solutions

For more than three decades, Cray experts have been helping scientists and engineers solve challenging, complex computational problems. In industry, Cray high-performance computers increase productivity, reduce risk and decrease time to market for companies across a range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, life sciences, and petroleum sectors. Cray’s unmatched performance, reliability and usability contribute to scientific endeavors with tremendous economic and social consequences, such as weather forecasting, and climate prediction.

High above Earth, remote sensing satellites send supercomputers complex data on the ocean’s physical response to hurricanes, including images of carbon-dioxide-absorbing plankton that bloom in the storms’ wake and change the color of the ocean surface. Supercomputers are helping scientists study the global carbon cycle and determine whether plankton growth could be encouraged to reduce carbon dioxide — and ultimately, global warming.

At the frontier of biotechnology, pharmaceutical companies use Cray systems to more quickly and thoroughly assess the efficacy and safety of life-saving drugs before investing time and money in clinical trials.

In government and academic research centers, Cray systems fuel discovery across many fields — from defining the future of high performance computing, to developing new applications for computational chemistry to understanding our universe.

In the world of product design and engineering, Cray systems can run complex crash codes on everything from automobiles to bike helmets, delivering the sustained performance to meet stringent design targets, stay on budget, and gain a competitive edge in safety and speed to market.

As our users’ high-performance computing needs have evolved, so have our systems. The same real-world performance that defines Cray’s leadership in high-end supercomputing is also available in smaller systems that meet the needs of the expanding market for superior sustained performance and reliability.
