Happy Birthday Seymour Cray!
Had you been around, this would be your 90th Birthday...
Thank you for the Super Computer and massive
CS6400 SPARC system, code named the
SuperDragon while in development..
The Business Systems Division of
Cray Research was sold to Sun Microsystems and formed the core of the ground-breaking
E10000 code named StarFire - a massively sized 64 SPARC Processor based Symmetric Multiprocessor Platform [SMP] system.
Systems like these were data-centers in a cabinet... data-centers in a single OS image... or a single chassis broken up into multiple OS images... depending on the required processing needs. These were not unlike what Oracle sells today, in their high-end systems, as Oracle continues Sun Microsystems, who continued Cray's vision for SMP SPARC Systems.
