Solve new problems
Apply the power of an Intel® processor–based HPC cluster to enhance productivity and solve new problems. With pre-tested interoperability, an Intel Cluster Ready cluster helps you realize HPC benefits faster. Choose a certified cluster based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series to accelerate progress on your most challenging applications. Simulate, analyze and visualize more complex, data-intensive models faster – and pack more performance into smaller footprints that require less power.

Intel Cluster Ready Specification
The specification helps ensure system interoperability by providing a common basis for building certified clusters and developing registered applications.

Download the specification

Certified Intel Cluster Ready clusters
Certified clusters are built according to the Intel Cluster Ready Specification and rigorously tested for component interoperability. Select a certified cluster to gain the confidence that the system will work as it should.

Registered Intel Cluster Ready applications
Registered applications have been validated on a certified Intel Cluster Ready cluster. Run multiple registered applications on the same certified cluster without rebuilding the software stack or reconfiguring hardware.

Intel Cluster Ready recipes
Intel Cluster Ready “recipes” (reference designs) help hardware vendors and system integrators design and build certified systems.
