Cray touts HPC Challenge benchmark results

Cray announced today that the Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 have posted leading overall results on the HPC Challenge benchmark tests. With the XT3, they’re claiming victory on seven of the 10 tests. According to Cray:

In comparing customer-reported HPC Challenge results for three large-scale systems of about the same size, an 1,100-processor Cray XT3 supercomputer had the best scores on seven of the 10 “condensed results” tests, compared to an SGI Altix 3700 system with 1,008 processors and an IBM Blue Gene system with 1,024 processors. In the seven tests, the Cray XT3 typically outperformed the next-best system by a factor of two to five times, and was up to 17 times faster than the third-ranking system.
