The Cray-1 was a supercomputer designed, manufactured and marketed by Cray Research. Announced in 1975, the first Cray-1 system was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976. Eventually, eighty Cray-1s were sold, making it …

It reigned as the world’s fastest from 1976 to 1982. Its distinctive design reflected Seymour Cray’s innovative engineering solutions and theatrical flair. The round tower minimized wire lengths, while the distinctive bench concealed power supplies.

The CRAY-1 is an early example of a class of machines called “supercomputers,” so named because of their ability to solve very complex mathematical problems that ordinary computers-even large commercial systems-cannot practically handle.

His company’s first supercomputer, the Cray-1, which came out in 1976, could perform 240 million calculations per second. It was used for large-scale scientific applications, such as simulating complex physical phenomena, and was sold to government and university laboratories.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a state-of-the-art interactive vector graphics system connected to the CRAY-1 supercomputer. The primary design goal for this graphics system is that it support large hydrodynamic computer programs ...

The CRAY-1's computing power is accessed at two different software levels-FORTRAN and the assembly language-and applied to a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering applications.

RAY-1 is an effective host processor for local computer rks and time-sharing networks. Cray Research provides ware and software interfaces that link the CRAY-1 with manufacturer's computer systems. This approach allows to add the CRAY-1 to existing computing facilities.

The Cray-1 was a supercomputer designed, manufactured, and marketed by Cray Research. The first Cray-1 system was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976, and it went on to become one of the best known and most successful supercomputers in history.

When it was finished in 1975, the Cray-1 was the fastest supercomputer in the world, its sixty miles of coiled wire processing data ten times more efficiently than its closest competitor. Fitting for such a revolutionary machine, Cray-1’s namesake was a …
