Some compilers in this category provide special constructs or extensions to allow programmers to directly specify operations to be performed in parallel ( e. g., DO FOR ALL statements in the version of FORTRAN used on the ILLIAC IV, which was a SIMD multiprocessing supercomputer ).

Perhaps because of its design, a CM-5 was featured in the movie Jurassic Park in the control room for the island ( instead of a Cray X-MP supercomputer as in the novel ).

Thinking Machines Corporation was a supercomputer manufacturer founded in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1982 by W. Daniel " Danny " Hillis and Sheryl Handler to turn Hillis's doctoral work at MIT on massively parallel computing architectures into a commercial product called the Connection Machine.

The most recent commercial iterations of the SPARC processor design are the Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd .' s " Venus " 128 GFLOP SPARC64 VIIIfx introduced June 2009, which is used in the 8 petaFLOPS Japanese supercomputer " K computer ", and the SPARC T4 introduced by Oracle Corporation in September 2011 ; both are 8 core devices running at 2. 0GHz and over 2. 5GHz respectively.

Fujitsu's Numerical Wind Tunnel supercomputer used 166 vector processors to gain the top spot in 1994 with a peak speed of 1. 7 gigaflops per processor.

* Veselin Topalov, the challenger to the World Chess Champion title in 2010, confirmed in an interview that he had used a Blue Gene / P supercomputer during his preparation for the match.

Fibre Channel was primarily used in the supercomputer field, but has now become the standard connection type for storage area networks ( SAN ) in enterprise storage.

Like its predecessors, the original BESM-6 was transistor-based ( however, the version used in the 1980s as a component of the Elbrus supercomputer was built with integrated circuits ).

Instruction pipelining, prefetch and decoding, and memory interleaving were used in later supercomputer designs such as the IBM System / 360 Models 91, 95 and IBM System / 370 Model 195, and the IBM 3090 series as well as computers from other manufacturers.

Campus Valla. Student union building on Campus Valla. The entrance to Campus Norrköping. Kåkenhus building in Norrköping. Campus Norrköping. Carl Malmsten building in Lidingö. A retired Cray X-MP / 416 supercomputer used as a bench in one of the buildings on Campus Valla. The origins of Linköping University date back to 1967 when a branch of Stockholm University was placed in Linköping, offering education within humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

Submersion cooling, used by the Cray-2 supercomputer, involves sinking a part of computer system directly into a chilled liquid that is thermally conductive but has low electrical conductivity.

By 1971, the Illiac IV supercomputer, which was the fastest computer in the world for several years, used about a quarter-million small-scale ECL logic gate integrated circuits to make up sixty-four parallel data processors.

CMOS circuitry, which was not typically used in vector supercomputer CPUs at the time, was chosen because of the high density achievable, which reduces both the on-chip and off-chip delay.

However, CMOS circuitry at that time was significantly slower than that of bipolar circuitry, especially the emitter-coupled logic that was widely used in vector supercomputer CPUs at the time.

( 1st in the world as university's owned one ) This supercomputer is used for simulation related to the complex systems such as the dynamics of planets or financial systems.

The group used a combination of The Chaos Computer, a supercomputer that used incoming information to predict future events, and the hex powers of the Scarlet Witch to attempt to prevent major world problems.

Slashdot wrote: " While the improvement may seem small, it is an outstanding achievement because only a single desktop PC, costing less than $ 3, 000, was used — instead of a multi-million dollar supercomputer as in the previous records.

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 in 1975.

Lattice QCD has also been used as a benchmark for high-performance computing, an approach originally developed in the context of the IBM Blue Gene supercomputer.

It was used by the US government from the years of 1997 to 2005 and was the world's fastest supercomputer until late 2000.
