Cray Inc. has selected Rambus DRAM as the main memory for the Cray X1 supercomputer that the company unveiled today, according to Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., which is supplying the chips.
Cray, which claims that the Cray X1 is the world'' most powerful supercomputer, is using customized four-channel RIMM modules comprised of 800MHz RDRAM chips with an aggregate memory bandwidth of 6.4Gbytes per second.

Samsung said its engineers worked with the Seattle computer manufacturer's design teams to develop the custom RIMMs to meet the extremely high speed requirements of the Cray X1, which is claimed can execute as many as 52 teraflops.
