Cray Supercomputer – Computing In The 80s
March 25th, 2009 § 5 Comments
Check out these pictures of an old-school supercomputer – this is the Cray X-MP 48, installed in the Chilton Computing Lab in 1986. This behemoth had 64 Mb of RAM and came with a free sofa.
The snazzy seating area provided somewhere to sit, relax, chat with friends and compute things…
Is it me or does it feel like the Cray is watching you?

The thing I like best about Seymour Cray is the fact that he enjoyed digging tunnels under his house. How cool is that!
What? Seriously? That is so cool
Did he dig them for a reason or did he just…um…like tunneling?
quick question
I’ve been lurking around the forum for a while but I have a question to ask. I’m trying to find a legit seller for r4 cards for my nintendo. I’m from germany and I found one site that looks promising r4 dsi seller
Hey folks.
That sound is just Seymour. He’s living in our recycled AS400 right now, but we’re taking donations to buy an old XM-P as a more permanent home. Send a check now, and you will recieve a Norman Rockwell velvet print of Cray, Kernigan and Ritchie playing poker!
Funny thing is that my boss just brought me a photo of the Cray and told me he wanted on to put in our break/meeting room. (also…I like digging tunnels for fun. Its good exersice and not as boring as lifting weights.)
