Cray Linux® Environment
Cray XC series systems utilize the Cray Linux Environment (CLE). CLE is a suite of high performance software that includes a Linux-based operating system designed to run large, complex applications and scale efficiently to more than 500,000 processor cores. The Linux environment features a compute kernel that can be configured to match different workloads. When running highly scalable custom applications, the compute nodes can be run in a lightweight mode, ensuring that operating system services do not interfere with application scalability. This design ensures virtually nothing stands between your scalable application and your hardware.
