This is part of one of the supercomputers at the University of Utah Center for High-Performance Computing in Salt Lake City (where I work.) This machine consists of some hundreds of relatively ordinary but high-powered PCs networked together into a unit called a cluster. This particular cluster is a bit long in the tooth but can still pull off the odd floating-point op and it looks very impressive!
The terminal is for the techs to troubleshoot the machines; actual programming and running access is done remotely. I've been working on this system and the other CHPC machines for over a year and a half and had never seen them before.

BEYOND THE SUPERCOMPUTER
Classical computing has changed the world with multiple revolutions in cloud, AI and Machine learning. But believe it or not, it’s reaching its peak. And so, the promise of Quantum technology is that it has the potential to truly help solve some of our greatest challenges - climate, supply chain shortages and inefficiencies, food insecurity, cyber vulnerabilities, and destabilization of economies. What will it take to really get there and how far are we anyway?

The curved shape was to reduce wire lengths between compnents. $7M price tag and another $1M for the disc pack. The cooling system weighed twice as much as the computing components.

Supercomputer by Cray Research. The machine in background is the computers fluorinert-cooling tower.
One of the very first Cray supercomputers. I believed it was bigger; in fact, it's as tall as myself... sorry for the bad shoot, I always take more pictures of everything and choose the best one, but this was not the case, dunno why...
