10. Cray Software Ecosystem
DVS
Speak to the fact that some applications, CD-adapco (Star-CD) and LSTC (LSDYNA) are compiled and run in “Extreme Scalability Mode (ESM)” using Cray’s native MPI libraries for maximum scalability.
Cluster Compatibility Mode (CCM) is a new feature of the Cray Linux Environment (CLE) that allows other applications to run on Cray system out-of-the-box. Scalability and Performance may vary depending upon the application.
