This is the Cray supercomputer. Amazing how fast and powerful it was at the time.

 

When introduced in 1966, the CDC 6600 was the fastest computer in the world. Designed by Seymour Cray, it executed about 3,000,000 instructions per second and remained th fastest machine for five years, until Cray produced his next supercomputer, the 7600.

 

The elegant architecture of the 6600 included one 60-bit central processor with multiple functional units coupled to ten shared-logic 12-bit peripheral I/O processors. The machine was Freon cooled. Selling for $6 to $10 million each, Contral Data Corporation (CDC) manufactured about 100 machines.

 

This was a gift of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
