The Cray Urika-GD is a graph discovery appliance is a computer application that finds and analyzes relationships and patterns in the data collected by a supercomputer.

The Cray Urika-GD generates graphs based on large amounts of data, often from multiple sources, and makes useful connections among those data. ^[1] Many organizations now have vast stores of information like this—called " big data"—that they can analyze and use to improve their operations, products or services.

One example of the appliance in use would be a healthcare organization that helps to find, among its 13 million patient records, information that doctors could use to develop treatment plans. ^[2] By categorizing records based on illness, age, treatment, and outcome, the appliance can provide insights for treating other patients.

“Big data” is also being tapped in professional sports. ^[3] In 2014, Cray revealed that a Major League Baseball team was using a Urika-GD appliance to graph and analyze its own performance statistics. ^[4]
