vi on a Cray supercomputer
Ever wondered what the text editor vi looked like on a Cray supercomputer? As a core part of the UNIX operating system, used by programmers and system administrators for editing and adjusting text files, the vi editor looked worked and behaves much as it does everywhere else. Under the covers, however, some clever programming was …
Excellent write up on Cray Corporate history
Charlie Clark came across this very clear and detailed write up of Cray Corporate history over on Encylopidia.com Cray Inc. is one of the world’s premier producers of super-computers, a term rather loosely used to denote the fastest computers at any give time. The company’s high-performance supercomputers, which are capable of performing billions of …
Musée Bolo
Musée Bolo Located in Lausanne Switzerland This museum has the Cray machines that were previously in service at site EPFL. Including a Cray-1, Cray-XMP, Cray-2 and T3D. These photos from an exhibition in 2022 after the restoration using materials from the original maker Naugahyde. “The Cray X-MP/48, once used at CERN, as well as the Cray-1S, the …
Sonja’s Story about Cray-1 fabrication and assembly
After seeing these pictures that seem to have the wire-mat showing on the module side of the frame I asked Sonja about the Cray-1 construction process: Sonja’s Story A little history you might already know: Seymour Cray was working for Control Data. I believe he wanted to build ‘his’ computer but CDC was going in …

ORNL Run Frontier at an Exascale with 52 GFlops a watt.
From The Register article …. Frontier marks the first publicly benchmarked exascale computer by quite a margin. The ORNL system is well ahead of Fugaku’s 442 petaflops of performance, which was a strong enough showing to keep Fugaku in the top spot for two years. Reaching exascale status is one thing, but many expected …
