#CHIPS: "Archer Supercomputer Advancing State-of-the-Art"

Cray scored a major design win with its massively parallel XC30 supercomputer is the fastest in the U.K. for complex simulations--from cosmology to climate modeling to aircraft design--using Intel E5 processor chips and Aries interconnection fabric chips--R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog

The University of Edinburgh recently installed its Archer supercomputer, which ranks as the fastest supercomputer in England.

Cray XC30 series chassis are based on blades with processor daughter cards (PDCs) and a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) Gen3 host interface.
