CRAY-2 Reboot

The CRAY-2 Computer System set the standard for the next generation of supercomputers in 1985. It was characterized by a large Common Memory (256 million 64-bit words), four Background Processors, a clock cycle of 4.1 nanoseconds (4.1 billionths of a… more »

Technological innovations on the CRAY-2 included the use of liquid immersion cooling and the eight-layer, three-dimensional modules.   Liquid Immersion Cooling Effective cooling techniques were central to the design of high-speed computational systems.… more »
