This interesting TV Program from 1987 The Computer Chronicles – Super Computers Episode Has information about NASA Ames Cray-2 and Los Alamos C1 & XMP. Shows the systems in there working environment along with explanations as to how the Cray systems are advancing science. About 30 Minutes – First part on NAS Ames Cray 2 then onto
The HASE Cray-1 Simulation Model is available here “Simulation models of a variety of computer architectures and architectural components have been created using HASE, a Hierarchical Computer Architecture design and Simulation Environment. These models are intended for use as teaching and learning resources: in lectures, for student self-learning or for virtual laboratory experiments. Using the models requires

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

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

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

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

The end of the ’90s was tough few years for supercomputers. These articles describe the spat that broke out between Cray and NEC a Japanese firms that was accused of selling supercomputers at less than cost price. After the spat was settled Cray entered an agreement to resell NEC supers SX-5 & SX-6 into the
