Titan is a hybrid-architecture Cray® XK7™ system with a theoretical peak performance exceeding 27,000 trillion calculations per second (27 petaflops). It contains both advanced 16-core AMD Opteron™ central processing units (CPUs) and NVIDIA® Kepler graphics processing units (GPUs). This combination allows Titan to achieve 10 times the speed and 5 times the energy efficiency of its predecessor, the Jaguar supercomputer, while using only modestly more energy and occupying the same physical footprint.

 

Titan features 18,688 compute nodes, a total system memory of 710 terabytes, and Cray’s high-performance Gemini network. Its 299,008 CPU cores can guide simulations while the accompanying GPUs can handle hundreds of calculations simultaneously. The system provides decreased time to solution, increased complexity of models, and greater realism in simulations. Titan is helping launch a new era for science and engineering as computing approaches the exascale, or a million trillion calculations a second.

 

Registration closes Monday, July 1st.
