The Cray C90 series (initially named the Y-MP C90) was a vector processor supercomputer launched by Cray Research in 1991. The C90 was a development of the Cray Y-MP architecture.

the cray c90 is the central noaa national weather service /nws/ computer that generates numerical weather forecast models for the national centers for environmental prediction /ncep/ in camp springs md. the prince georges county fire department responded and extinguished the fire by using dry chemicals.

After Chen's departure, the Cray Y-MP, Cray C90 and Cray T90 were developed on the original Cray-1 architecture but achieved much greater performance via multiple additional processors, faster clocks, and wider vector pipes.

First named the Cray Y-MP C90 supercomputer, the parallel vector system had 16 new CPUs capable of 1 gigaflops each and 2 gigabytes of central memory. It could perform 5 times faster than Cray’s previous best.

The CRAY C90 Series Functional Description Manual provides information about the basic functions, design, and architecture of the CRAY C92A, CRAY C94A, CRAY C94, CRAY C98, and CRAY C916 computer systems and their associated peripheral devices. This manual is written primarily for Cray Research, Inc. (CRI) customers and people

Mario (Cray C90) The PSC’s CRAY C90 (or, more correctly, C916/512), nicknamed Mario, ran UNICOS, based on AT&T UNIX System V, with Berkeley extensions and Cray Research, Inc. enhancements. Compared to the Y-MP, its predecessor at PSC, the C90 processor had a dual vector pipeline and a faster 4.1 ns clock cycle (244 MHz), which together gave ...

Around 60 of these machines were manufactured, and many customers migrated their workload from the Cray-XMP to a Cray-YMP and on to a C90.
