| | Seymour Cray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cray was born in 1925 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. | | | Cray quickly came to be regarded as an expert on digital computer technology, especially following his design work on the ERA 1103, the first commercially successful scientific computer. | | | Cray set up a new company, SRC Computers, Inc., and started the design of his own massively parallel machine. |

| | Seymour Cray Obituary by John Markoff |
| | Cray announced that he had formed a new company, SRC Computers, where he was planning to begin the design of the Cray 5 supercomputer. | | | Cray was instrumental in creating a constant stream of design advances and innovative technologies that were later adopted by the rest of the computer industry. | | | Cray experimented with electronics in college but did not learn about digital computers until after graduation from the University of Minnesota in 1951, having received a bachelor's in electrical engineering and a master's in mathematics. |

| | Seymour Cray's gone, but not forgotten |
| | Cray was born in Wisconsin in 1925 and served in the US army during World War II. | | | After working as a team member on two computers at ERA Cray was given the task of designing the next computer, the 1103. | | | Cray had contact with Von Neumann but with computing was in its infancy, many problems had not been explored and he had to rely on his own research and invention. |

| | Cray also felt that silicon technology had almost run its course; improvements on the Cray-1's 12.5 ns cycle time were possible, but much more than doubling didn't seem easy. | | | Cray solved this by adding ten smaller computers to the system, allowing them to deal with the slower external storage (disks and tapes) and "squirt" data into memory when the main processor was busy. | | | Cray had previously attacked the problem of increased speed with three simultaneous advances: more functional units to give the system higher parallelism, tighter packaging to decrease signal delays, and faster components to allow for a higher clock speed. |

| | Cray Supercomputer FAQ |
| | Cray PVP machines are word addressable, the T3D and T3E are byte addressable machines. | | | Cray machines could not support "alloca", so minor magic had to be applied to programs using "alloca." In the very early days, many C programs suffered from the "nUxi" problem, but that was hardly unique to Cray machines. | | | According to a CCC inside source Seymour Cray and the Cray Computer Corporation used Macintosh desktop computers almost exclusivly for work on the Cray-3 and Cray-4 projects. |

| | Tribute to Seymour Cray |
| | When he started Cray Research in 1972, he shelved the 8600 design primarily because at that time he felt that the software issues were too great for the industry to handle and concluded that greater performance could be achieved in a uniprocessor by implementing vector capabilities. | | | Once when told that Apple Computer bought a CRAY to simulate their next Apple computer design, Seymour remarked, "Funny, I am using an Apple to simulate the CRAY-3." His selection of people for his projects also reflected fundamentals. | | | When he had to close the doors on Cray Computer Corporation in 1994, he immediately began to evaluate options available to build high performance systems out of commodity parts. |
