A Tribute to Seymour Cray. by Charles W. Breckenridge SRC Computers, Inc. Presented during the keynote session at Supercomputing '96, November 19, 1996. It is fitting that we pay tribute today to Seymour Cray, the individual who created the industry that led to the formation of this conference and the individual who has been for the last 40 ...
So Seymour Cray put it on full display, making the boiling liquid viewable through glass panels. TECH STORY: The Cray-2 was a four processor vector architecture with a 256 million 64-bit memory (the largest central memory available on any computer) and 4.1 nanosecond clock speed. It reached a peak speed of 1.9 gigaflops.
Seymour Cray, meanwhile, would not give up. Accepting the transition of HPC to commodity technologies, he set off once again to develop a massively parallel, but industry leading, system. This all ended suddenly when Seymour was critically injured in an automobile accident and died two weeks later, October 5, 1996.
Seymour Cray unveiled the CRAY-1 in 1976, considered the first supercomputer. Born in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Cray was interested in chemistry and radio as a child. After a brief service during World War II, he went to the University of Minnesota where he studied engineering. In 1951 he joined Engineering Research Associates which was ...
Seymour Cray is universally known as the father of supercomputing. This article describes some of Cray's many contributions to supercomputing as he worked in five different corporate environments from 1951 until his death.
