The Cray-1 Supercomputer. Featuring a central column surrounded by a padded, circular seat, the Cray-1 looked like no other computer. And performed like no other computer. It reigned as the world’s fastest from 1976 to 1982.
Seymour Cray, American electronics engineer and computer designer who was the preeminent designer of the large high-speed computers known as supercomputers, which were largely realized through his innovative design of uniprocessor computers, which allowed simultaneous (parallel) processing.
Jul 31, 2023 · From the world’s fastest computer in the 1970s to modern exascale computing, Cray has been a leading supercomputer company since the start of the field. Cray is now a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise but its history started with Seymour Cray founding Cray Research.
Jun 7, 2019 · With the acquisition, HPE will get Cray’s current generation XC and CS supercomputers and the next-generation Shasta supercomputer that features a new high-speed interconnect, code-named Slingshot. Cray’s products also include high-performance storage, a full HPC system software stack, and data analytics and AI solutions that are fully ...
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.
