This week, the company unveiled its next-generation machine, called the Cray XT5 family, combining off-the-shelf chips from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. ( AMD) with Cray's proprietary vector designs, called Black Widow and so-called field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Those chips are designed for specific applications for customers, and can perform certain tasks faster than general- purpose chips. Some customers want to mix and max these types of systems.
