Case Study: Cray XK6 System

The Cray XK6 system helps scientists accelerate research into soft matter

Simulations based around fluid dynamics offer a powerful way to study, predict and ultimately improve the behavior of “soft matter” — materials such as paints, engine lubricants and even that tub of ice cream in your freezer.  

Now, researchers are exploiting the Cray XK6TM supercomputer to accelerate their research. The system’s extreme scalability and GPU capability allows the efficient use of Ludwig at larger and larger scales.
