Seymour Cray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cray was born in 1925 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Cray quickly came to be regarded as an expert on digital computer technology, especially following his design work on the ERA 1103, the first commercially successful scientific computer. Cray wanted to follow immediately, but William Norris refused as Cray was in the midst of completing a project for the US Navy, with whom Norris was interested in maintaining a good relationship. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Seymour_Cray   (1656 words)

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 experimented with electronics in college but did not learn about digital computers until after graduation from the University of Minnesota in 1951, having received a bachelor's in electrical engineering and a master's in mathematics. 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. www.cs.wisc.edu /~bezenek/cray.html   (1821 words)

Cray-2 Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography Cray also felt that silicon technology had almost run its course; improvements on the Cray-1's 12.5 ns cycle time were possible, but much more than doubling didn't seem easy. Cray solved this by adding ten smaller computers to the system, allowing them to deal with the slower external storage (disks and tapes) and "squirt" data into memory when the main processor was busy. Cray had previously 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. encyclopedia.localcolorart.com /encyclopedia/Cray-2   (1682 words)

cray 1 The Cray 1 was the world's first "supercomputer," a machine that leapfrogged existing technology when it was introduced in 1971. Also unique was the Cray's use of low-density/very high-speed ECL circuits (that required liquid Freon for cooling in their cramped configuration), rather than high-density/slower speed devices. The sad part of the story is that Seymour Cray still had ideas he wanted to bring to reality at the time he was killed in a car accident. www.thocp.net /hardware/cray_1.htm   (704 words)

Seymour Cray's gone, but not forgotten Cray was born in Wisconsin in 1925 and served in the US army during World War II. After working as a team member on two computers at ERA Cray was given the task of designing the next computer, the 1103. Cray had contact with Von Neumann but with computing was in its infancy, many problems had not been explored and he had to rely on his own research and invention. www.theinquirer.net /?article=12050   (1351 words)

Seymour Cray Cray told Science magazine in 1978 that the ability to test bombs on a computer "seems to me to be the vehicle that led to the [1963] Test Ban Treaty, and as long as we can keep in on a computer no one will get hurt." It was there that Cray worked on his first computer, an early machine that became the Univac 1103. Cray said he never heard of Boolean algebra while he was at the University, but whenever it was the he started using it he was truly in his natural element--mathematical and systems logic. www.mbbnet.umn.edu /hoff/hoff_sc.html   (3275 words)

Wired News: SGI Set to Dump Cray? Cray Research was founded in 1972 by supercomputing legend Seymour Cray, to develop the world's fastest general purpose supercomputers. Cray entered the market for massively parallel machines several years ago, and now also develops the T3E, the follow-on to its first massively parallel machine, the Cray T3D, launched in 1993. Another source said that Cray and Gores were hoping to make an announcement at last week's Supercomputing '99 conference in Portland, Oregon, which was a launching pad for a newly independent Cray, but the talks were still ongoing at the time of the show. www.wired.com /news/print/0,1294,32685,00.html   (966 words)

Cray officially became a consultant to the company and devoted himself to the Cray-2, which then was intended to be the market's first GaAs computer. Cray does prefer econoboxes to fancy cars, though, and according to his sister, mounts a watch on the dashboard rather than ordering a clock. www.businessweek.com /1989-94/pre88/b31571.htm   (3519 words)

Cray Supercomputer FAQ 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. 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. 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. www.faqs.org /faqs/computer/system/cray/faq   (7846 words)

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. When he had to close the doors on Cray Computer Corporation in 1994, he immediately began to evaluate options available to build high performance systems out of commodity parts. 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. www.cgl.ucsf.edu /home/tef/cray/tribute.html   (1266 words)

Cray forecasts Red Storm for masses CNET News.com Cray's announcement signifies increasing momentum in the supercomputer arena for AMD, which launched Opteron earlier this year in hopes of increasing its share of the corporate server market. A Cray representative pointed out that while the supercomputing industry has accepted 64-bit technology as its standard for a number of years, the ability to run some applications in 32-bit mode remains attractive to many users. Cray views Opteron as a perfect fit for both Red Storm and the company's upcoming product line because of the processor's ability to run both 32-bit and 64-bit software and its use of HyperTransport interface technology. news.com.com /2100-1008_3-5097398.html   (897 words)
