Technology Article Assignment #4
Cray has come out with the XC30-AC, the most affordable supercomputer on the market. Cray built the world’s first ever supercomputer. The new supercomputer is only 500,000 dollars, which to the average American is quite pricy. But compared to previous supercomputers it is very cheap. Cray’s previous supercomputers sold from 10 to 30 million dollars, and supercomputers being developed in Japan are being sold for 1 billion dollars. It has the same software as previous computers but is much cheaper. Cray is trying to make supercomputers more affordable so they can be used in more businesses, and by more people around the world
A cheaper supercomputer is a huge development in the field of technology. The Cray supercomputer is just as advanced as other supercomputers, but is smaller and cost millions of dollars less. This will lead to more supercomputers in homes and businesses around the world. Eventually we may even see supercomputers cheap enough to belong in the homes of the average American.
