The Cray-3 was intended to be (additional info and facts about Cray Research) Cray Research's successor to the (additional info and facts about Cray-2) Cray-2 (A mainframe computer that is one of the most powerful available at a given time) supercomputer.
Cray had always attacked the problem of increased speed with three simultaneous advances: more functional units to give the system higher parallelism, tighter packaging to decrease signal delays, and faster components to allow for a higher clock speed.
Cray had intended to use gallium arsenide circuitry in the Cray-2, which would not only offer much higher switching speeds, but also used less energy and thus ran cooler as well.

 Seymour Cray Obituary by John Markoff
Cray, who as a young electrical engineer at the Control Data Corporation in the late 1950's led the design of the world's first transistor-based computer, went on to develop a string of supercompupting machines that were known for their elegance and simplicity, but most of all for their blazing speed.
Cray's most significant contribution was an approach to solving the daunting scientific and engineering problems known as "vector processing," which involved chaining together long series of calculations in specialized hardware to expedite solutions.
Cray is survived by two daughters, Susan Borman of Eau Claire, Wis., and Carolyn Arnold of Minneapolis; a, son, Steven, of Chippewa Falls, a sister, Carol Kersten of Rochester Minn., and five grandchildren.

 Review for the THES: The Supermen
Cray's ability to combine theory and practice have been critical to his success; he was as happy with Boolean equations as with soldering computer circuit boards.
Cray's normal solution to failure when it did occur was to give up completely on the design, found a new company, relocate, and start again from scratch.
Cray was a great inspirer and instigator of designs, but relied on his colleagues to follow through his ideas to completion.

 The Franklin Institute Certficates of Merit - Seymour Cray   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Through two decades, Cray and his organization have used unique designs and novel manufacturing techniques to provide the scientific and military communities with computers which were orders of magnitude faster than most of the other commercially available system.
Cray did not rest but pursued the design and development of a computer system at least a factor of ten better than his previous design and, in 1985, introduced the CRAY-2 computer system.
With this machine Cray again demonstrated his ability to be truly innovative; the CRAY-2 system, cooled with liquid immersion technology, featured the fastest clock cycle (4.1 nsec) and the largest common memory (256 million 64bit words) to date.

 Research lab sizes up slew of supercomputers - Computerworld   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Cray 3 was brought in a year ago to run climate models, but it was plagued by memory problems, and its performance was too little too late, as even its designer, Seymour Cray, conceded.
Now the Cray 3 at NCAR sits idle while the research facility uses a greatly improved version of the radical new machine at Cray Computer's facility in Colorado Springs, 100 miles to the south.
Indeed, although the Cray 3 has not been tested on a wide variety of applications, there is some evidence that Cray's long struggle to substitute gallium arsenide for silicon in processors may pay off.

In a recent -- and rare -- speech, Cray wryly recalled what he considered his ''social problem.'' He used a circular sliderule, and because it didn't hang from his belt in a leather case like the more popular straight ones, he fretted that he wouldn't be recognized on campus as a budding engineer.

Known collectively as the "Cray effect", they are the combination of algorithm scaling problems, cyclic accumulation of errors and parallelism interdependencies that seem to show up most times you take an apparently well behaved small program and run it longer harder and further than possible on a conventional system.
Cray machines could not support "alloca", so minor magic had to be applied to programs using "alloca." In the very early days, many C programs suffered from the "nUxi" problem, but that was hardly unique to Cray machines.
On the company move to the "new" Cray Research Park from the 1440 Northland Drive facility, the first ducky day at the new location was celebrated by putting the torch to the wooden portion of the reassembled sculpture on the island in the middle of Cray Lake.

 Tribute to Seymour Cray
When he started Cray Research in 1972, he shelved the 8600 design primarily because at that time he felt that the software issues were too great for the industry to handle and concluded that greater performance could be achieved in a uniprocessor by implementing vector capabilities.
Once when told that Apple Computer bought a CRAY to simulate their next Apple computer design, Seymour remarked, "Funny, I am using an Apple to simulate the CRAY-3." His selection of people for his projects also reflected fundamentals.

Cray's chief executive at the time, Michael Haydock, was ousted in early 2002 over disagreements on how to make the company profitable.
And because Cray is small--it has 900 employees but only $155 million in revenue--it must prove its longevity and viability to customers, who don't want to spend millions of dollars on a computer if they can't be assured of getting technical support and replacement parts.
