CDC 7600 (serial number 1), Control Data Corporation, 1971
Memory: 512K (60-bit) Core
Speed: 36 MFLOPS
Cost: $5,000,000
“The CDC7600 was the follow on to the 6600, designed by Seymour Cray. About five times faster than the CDC 6600, scientific and government institutions primarily used both machines to execute large mathematical programs written in FORTRAN. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used this machine to design nuclear weapons and, like most CDC customers, wrote much of their own software. A very large machine, the 7600 had over 120 miles of hand-wired interconnections. It was Freon cooled.”

Using supercomputers and data mining, a team led by engineers at UC San Diego has discovered and developed a new phosphor to make LEDs with excellent color quality. Under UV light, the phosphor emits either green-yellow or blue light depending on the chemical activator that is mixed in.
Researchers published the new phosphor on Feb. 19 in the journal Joule.

August 03, 2012-Rochester: Governor Cuomo and local officials cut the ribbon to unveil one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers for health research, which will be housed at the Health Sciences Center for Computational Innovation (HSCCI) in Rochester. The HSCCI is a $100 million partnership with the University of Rochester and IBM dedicated to applying high performance computing solutions to the nation’s health challenges. Last year, the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council chose the HSCCI as one of its priority projects and received $5 million in state funds for its completion.

I asked Seymour Cray, one of the key figures in the history of computing, to autograph this poster for me the summer of '96. I shook his hand, and saw the shimmer in his eyes when he smiled. As far as I know, I'm the only person that ever asked him for his autograph. He was in the building for a meeting, and I couldn't let the chance go by. Sadly, he died in October from a car crash before I got a chance to work with him or know him better. Here's a wikipedia link to more about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Cray .

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Oct. 16, 2015) -- The U.S. Army introduced its newest supercomputer, Excalibur, which will help to ensure Soldiers have the technological advantage on the battlefield, officials said.
The Excalibur is the 19th most powerful computer in the world. About 50 officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Center.

The Diefenbunker is a four-story, 100,000 square foot underground bunker, built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War it was intended to house 535 Canadian government officials and military officers in the event of a nuclear war. It served as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994.
For years it protected us from 75 feet underground and we knew virtually nothing about it. Today, it operates as a not-for-profit, charitable museum and boasts award winning tours and programs.

Maeslantkering storm surge barrier is a huge gate in 360-metre (nearly quarter of a mile) wide waterway controlled by a supercomputer that automatically closes when Rotterdam is threatened by floods. It is one of largest moving structures on Earth, rivaling the Green Bank Telescope in the United States and the Bagger 288 excavator in Germany.
Each of the two gates measure 22-metre high 210- metre long (72 by 690 ft) and weigh 6,800 tonnes each. They are hinged on largest ball shaped joints in the world, each with a diameter of 10 metres (33ft), and weighing 680 tonnes.

History: Originally, Anubis was a cartoon representative program manager that was programmed by Chigaru. In its first version, Anubis was used to keep track of the various programs used by its owner, Chigaru. However, when Chigaru’s double life got the better of him, the parameters of Anubis were changed to monitor all usage of the Utopian computer grid and perform the necessary maintenance. No problems arose at first but when glitches or other hackers were encountered, Anubis began accessing its old stores of sometime illegal programs to solve the problems. With the access it had to information, coupled with some of the more strenuous programs it was forced to run, Anubis began to generate new code and modify itself. It took a few years but Anubis finally became a self. While Chigarus is aware of this new change in his original program, he couldn’t be happier. In fact, it was upon finding out about the near limitless potential of the program that cause Chiggy, to grant Anubis full administrator’s privledges to the whole of Utopian computerized systems. There, the creature is free to do as it wishes and is programmed to do. Its master still monitors Anubis’ progress. There have been many discoveries associated to the mere presence of the program to the computer systems, they have been running beyond peak performance without any negative effects.
