After narrowly escaping delisting from NASDAQ and battling the subsequent stock woes from this encumbrance, Cray Inc. has run into more obstacles. HPCwire has learned that the company's CTO, Steve Scott, is resigning after more than 13 years, effective today. The unexpected departure of Scott, heralded earlier this year as one of HPCwire's People to Watch for 2005, is sure to further dishearten beleaguered Cray and its stock holders. After all, Scott was instrumental in creating Cray's T3E system, as well as the X1, the company's "comeback" product. At the time of his exit, Scott reportedly was designing the integrated infrastructure for Cray's next-generation supercomputer. "I've been thinking about it for a while now and talking to my management about a good time to transition," said Scott. "While working at Cray has been tremendously rewarding for me, I'd like some additional experiences during my career." Cray president Peter Ungaro added, "Steve Scott is one of the most respected and top notch technical leaders in the high performance computing industry. It will be very difficult to fill his shoes, and we're truly going to miss Steve. However, designing supercomputers is a team effort, and we've got the strongest team in the HPC industry."
