The Cray-3 was a vector supercomputer, Seymour Cray 's designated successor to the Cray-2. The system was one of the first major applications of gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors …

The CRAY-3 is the first super- computer to use gallium arsenide (GaAs) integrated circuits for all of its logic circuitry. The development of GaAs digital circuits was a fundamental step in …

Each processor will be constructed from four modules. The whole machine, including the central memory, will be built from 200 modules, each contain 1024 VLSI circuits, and be built from …

Four modules comprise a processor. There are four processors in the CRAY-3 at NCAR. Old and new computational tools: pencil and CRAY-3 module. (Photo courtesy Cray Computer …

Appears In: Smaller and Faster: The Cray-2 and 3. <p>Unlike Cray’s previous designs, the Cray-3 used unproven technology—gallium arsenide—and Cray had to invest in the company making …

The Cray-3/SSS (Super Scalable System) was a pioneering massively parallel supercomputer project that bonded a two-processor Cray-3 to a new SIMD processing unit based entirely in …

This device, called a "brick," formed part of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the Cray 3 supercomputer. It ran at 500-550 MHz and used 2ns Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) integrated …

The CRAY-3 offers a balanced combination of high-speed vector processing, very fast scalar processing and the largest directly addressable memory available in a general purpose …
