 Lerach Coughlin | Cray | Press Release
Cray is engaged in the design, development, marketing and support of high-performance computer systems, commonly known as supercomputers.
As a result, it was difficult for Cray to manage basic operational tasks, such as the development of software applications, or to manage customer requirements and specifications for systems per contract.
On March 16, 2005, Cray revealed that it would delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K and that, although it had not completed its formal assessment process, it expected to identify one or more material weaknesses in its system of internal controls and that it would conclude that these controls were ineffective.

 Cray Supercomputer FAQ
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.
