The Cray-2 is a supercomputer with four vector processors made by Cray Research starting in 1985. At 1.9 GFLOPS peak performance, it was the fastest machine in the world when it was released, replacing the Cray X-MP in that spot. It was, in turn, replaced in that spot by the Cray Y-MP in 1988.
May 30, 2022 · Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which in 2019 purchased the supercomputer pioneer Cray, contributed networking technology called SlingShot that had a significant impact on Frontier’s performance, Mr ...
Mar 25, 2024 · 1982 – Cray releases the 1 GHz Cray X-MP, featuring flexible 2 to 4 processors. This made it one of the first supercomputers with parallel processing for enhanced performance. 1985 – The 1.9 gigaflops Cray-2 set the new computational speed benchmark. It also pioneered direct immersion cooling technology, enabling more reliable functioning.
May 7, 2019 · The IBM-built Sierra supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is today's second-fastest supercomputer, but it'll be about one-sixteenth as fast as the Cray-built Frontier due in ...
Oct 30, 2018 · Cray has introduced Shasta, its next-generation supercomputer platform that will serve as the company entry into the realm of exascale computing. The architecture will offer a flexible design that supports a wide array of processors, coprocessors, node configurations, and system interconnects, including one developed by Cray itself.
Aug 13, 2019 · Cray has been commissioned by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to create a supercomputer head and shoulders above all the rest, with the contract valued at some $600 million. Disappointingly ...
Feb 6, 2019 · When Supercomputers Were Invented. The notion of a supercomputer first arose in the 1960s when an electrical engineer named Seymour Cray, embarked on creating the world’s fastest computer. Cray, considered the “father of supercomputing,” had left his post at business computing giant Sperry-Rand to join the newly formed Control Data ...
