World’s First Entirely x86-based Supercomputer to Achieve Petaflop Performance

Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Cray XT5 "Jaguar" Supercomputer

World's Most Powerful Computer. For Science!

The Jaguar petaflops Supercomputer will make it possible to address some of the most challenging scientific problems in areas such as climate modeling, renewable energy, materials science, fusion and combustion.

With more than three times the memory of any other computer and incredible bandwidth the Jaguar is powered by Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors as the first supercomputer to uses the X86 instruction set with all it's applications, compilers, and tools. Jaguar has hundreds of applications that have been ported to the Cray XT system and many have been scaled to run on up to 150,000 AMD Opteron cores.
