		Seymour Cray (1925-1996) was a supercomputer architect who founded the company Cray Research.
		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 began working for SRC Computers but died of injuries suffered in an car accident on October 5, 1996 aged 71.

	Seymour Cray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cray was born in 1925 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
		Cray wanted to follow immediately, but William Norris refused as Cray was in the midst of completing a project for the Navy, with whom Norris was interested in maintaining a good relationship.
		Cray always demanded an absolutely quiet work environment with a minimum of management overhead, but as the company grew he found himself constantly interrupted by middle-managers who (according to Cray) did little but gawk and use him as a sales tool by introducing him to prospective customers.

		Seymour Roger Cray (September 28, 1925 - October 5, 1996) was a supercomputer architect who founded the company Cray Research.
		Cray knew, as we do now, that processing small amounts of data at stratospheric speed was not the realm of the supercomputer; that was where minicomputers (such as VAX and PDP) came in.
		In 1989 the Cray-3 project was moved into a separate company, Cray Computer Corporation, headed by Seymour Cray and based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

	Tribute to Seymour Cray
		By 1970, Seymour had been directly responsible for the design and development of the systems that were to shape the high performance computer industry for years to come.
		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.
		Seymour's solution was to convert the clickers to lights and to continue to communicate with his sister.

		Cray died of complications from severe head and neck injuries suffered in a three-car crash.
		Cray began his career at Control Data Corp. in the late 1950s, developing one of the first computers to use radio transistors instead of vacuum tubes, which weighed tons and sapped huge amounts of electricity.
		Cray's single-minded pursuit of knowledge gave rise to legends: that he taught physics to his high school classmates when the science teacher was sick, that as a young father he insisted his three children maintain absolute silence in the car so he could think in peace.

		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.
		Cray was probably also involved in the creation of the COS operating system which was similar to SCOPE on the CDC systems.
		Cray was often described as a reclusive man but this was hardly a fair description.

		Cray was more than happy to turn over his managerial responsibilities to Rollwagen and others, though it caused something of a stir among stockholders who feared a rift.
		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.
