Cray Channels Extract – Customer notes

The Cray Channels magazine provides some insight into the customer and applications that used Cray Research Supecomputers. The Corporate Register section often listed customer orders and installation of Cray systems around the world. These have been extracted and are presented here for review. Further data analysis can be found on the Cray Channels Organisation page.  The information runs up to the early T3E era about 1998. Other information may be gathered from Crays extensive press releases.

Not all customers were disclosed (esp .gov) even if some details of their systems later emerged on Top500 lists.
