	Cray-Cyber - Control Data Corporation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		1962 CDC 3000 family, not done by Seymour Cray (who is working on the 6600 together with Thornton and a design crew totaling 34, at Chippewa Falls).
		CDC 7600 first shipment, 4-5 times the speed of the 6600, largely compatible.
		The Cyber 960-31 operated by cray-cyber.org is of about 1/2 the performance of this machine, and software compatible to the 6600.

	CDC Cyber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CDC Cyber range of mainframe/super-computers were Control Data Corporation (CDC)'s primary products during the 1970's and 1980's.
		Eventually the THETA was released as the Cyber 990.
		One noteworthy application is that the Cyber-18 formed the basis of the 2550 - a communications processor used by CDC 6000 series and Cyber-70/Cyber-170 mainframes.

	The ETA Saga (Rob Peglar)
		CDC was convinced that EOS was the only path to allow their Cyber 205 installed base to upgrade to ETA equipment.
		CDC, on the other hand, was obsessed by its own failures in the mainframe business; for example, approximately 75 million dollars was sunk into the R&D efforts behind the Cyber 990 series, and only 12 systems were sold in 1988.
		CDC need only look over the river (the Minnesota, that is) to its offspring, Cray Research, to find out what changes were occurring in the supercomputer operating system world.

	CDC Cyber 810 Hardware (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In Cyber 170 mode, the machines were almost 100% compatible with the CDC 6000 series and its successors.
		CDC claimed that if you bought enough disk space from them to fill the address space of the machine, they'd throw in a top-of-the-line 180/990.
		As I recall, the Cyber 180/865 and a few others were basically yet another rehash of the CDC 7600.

	History of UW Central Computing
		Both Cybers, and the ECS unit, were cooled by looping chilled water through the mainframe (or a condenser external to the mainframe).
		The Sigma and 1401 were used as trade-ins on the CDC equipment; CDC disposed of the 1401 via the landfill, and the Sigma was sold by CDC to a dealer specializing in used Xerox equipment.
		To the CDC Cyber customers, these disk drives were known as the model 885 and had two 600-megabyte spindles per unit.

	UGA Computer Center, History and Current Projects
		CDC 6400 replaced with CDC CYBER 70/74 to satisfy increased Network demands; Library Automation Project started to develop a set of completely automated library applications, later called Managing Resources for University Libraries (MARVEL).
		The CDC 6400 was no longer capable of handling the needs of the Network institutions, and the job mix and demands had changed radically since its installation in 1970.
		The CDC OMEGA 480/II was upgraded to a 480/III, and the smaller IBM 370/158 was increased to its memory capacity of eight megabytes.

	How to 0wn the Internet in Your Spare Time
		CDC Task: sponsor research in automated mechanisms for detecting worms based on their traffic patterns; foster the deployment of a widespread set of sensors.
		CDC Task: establish mechanisms with which to propagate signatures describing how worms and their traffic can be detected and terminated or isolated, and deploy an accompanying body of agents that can then apply the mechanisms.
		CDC Task: foster research into resilient application design paradigms and infrastructure modifications that (somehow) remain viable for adaptation by the commercial software industry, perhaps assisted by legislation or government policy.

		As we move toward a more distributed computing environment, this past year has seen several significant changes and developments in the kinds of services the Computation Center provides for the campus community, and this fall promises to be particularly busy for the staff.
		Cyber Removal The CDC Dual Cyber system will be removed at the end of January, and staff members are now helping remaining Cyber users--mostly FORTRAN users--move work to other machines.
		To illustrate the power and capacity of the 6410, a comparison to the Cybers may be useful: each of the Cybers has a rating of 5.0 mips and 1.6 mflops; the 6410 is rated at 7.6 mips and 1.2 mflops.

	The Strategic Dimensions of the U.S. Computer Exports to the USSR
		The Cyber 76 is a "super-computer" developed by the Control Data Corpora tion of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
		CDC, however, so far has sold about 50 large' computer systems to the Soviet bloc, and only in one instance does w e a e e the system have on-site inspection.
		The objections by the Pentagon and ERDA were on the ground that both com puter systems weapons calculations, for anti-submarine warfare for large phased-array radar to track enemy ICEWs and for other military applications Today, the Department of Defense deploys close to6',000 of the so-called general purpose computers.

	CDC STAR-100 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately a number of basic design features of the machine meant that its "real world" performance was much lower than expected when first used commercially in 1974, and was one of the primary reasons CDC was pushed from its former dominance in the supercomputer market when the Cray-1 was announced a few years later.
		In general organization, the STAR was similar to CDC's earlier supercomputers, where a simple RISC-like CPU was supported by a number of peripheral processors that offloaded housekeeping tasks and allowed the CPU to crunch numbers as quickly as possible.
		An updated version was later released as the CDC Cyber 203, and then a greatly improved Cyber 205, but by this point the Cray-1 was on the market with considerably higher performance.

	Iterations: An interdisciplinary journal of software history
		Spokespeople from CDC admitted that Jane was merely a profile “based on hundreds of case studies.” When journalists further asked where the report that PLATO successfully taught basic skills could be found, CDC informed them that their results were based on the experiences at Knox Elementary School near San Antonio, Texas.
		CDC was only ninth on the list of American computer sales to the African country, with a total of $27 million in 1985.
		However, by the late 1970s, due to CDC’s refusal to use much of the original PLATO courseware, the two partners were in a state of “benign neglect.” It was not until 1983, with the adaptation of PLATO for the microcomputer that Bitzer sought contact with CDC again.

	ETA Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Unlike Cray Research, however, ETA never escaped the orbit of its parent company, and was closed by CDC in April 1989 after having installed about 25 systems.
		The ETA-10 was designed to be instruction-set compatible with the CDC Cyber 205.
		Like its ancestors in the CDC Cyber series, the ETA-10 was a vector machine without explicit vector registers, relying on pipelined memory operations to a high-bandwidth memory hierarchy.

	Control Data Corporation, CDC-6600 & 7600
		James T. Humberd was a CDC 6600 salesman, and used these slides to present the system.
		The CDC 6600 consisted of a large central processor, surrounded by 10 peripheral and control processors that were assigned the tasks of operating the devices connected to the input/output channels, and transferring data to and from the central processor.
		In fact, the transistor specifications of 3-ns and high reliability were arrived at by the CDC computer designers based on the required speed and reliability to complete a numerical solution of a scientific problem without interruption from a computer hardware failure [69].

		This code was originally developed in 1989 in FORTRAN V on a CDC 6000 computer system, and was later ported to an MS-DOS environment.
		The CDC version has one main source code file while the PC version has two files which are easier to edit and compile on a PC.
		The CDC version includes two MODIFY decks which can be used to improve the code and prevent the possibility of some infrequently occurring errors while PC-version users will have to make these code changes manually.

		Though not cutting-edge technology (ours was the next to last one built), the Cyber 205 was a consistent performer, and provided a reasonably stable supercomputing environment for researchers at FSU and around the country.
		This process required the compilation of source code and subsequent loading of object code on the Cyber 205 to create a controllee, or executable file, which was then transferred to the ETA via an Apollo workstation.
		In retrospect, however, the continued use of the Cyber 205 abstract architecture, with memory-to-memory long vector pipelines supplemented by a somewhat underpowered scalar processor, did not seem justified with respect to the lack of wide acceptance of the earlier 205.
