Cray-4
The Cray-4 was intended to be Cray Research's successor to the failed Cray-3 and earlier Cray-2 supercomputers. The system Cray-3 was the first major application of gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors in computing. The project was not considered a success, and only one Cray-3 was delivered. Seymour Cray moved on to the Cray-4 design, but was killed in a car accident before it was fully assembled. Cray Computer announced the Cray-4 supercomputer in 1994. The Cray-4 is based on a shared-memory, vector processing CPU. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Cray Research: REDIRECT Cray... Cray-3: The Cray-3 was intended to be Cray Research's successor to the Cray-2 supercomputer. The system was to be the first major application of gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors in computing. The project was not considered a success, and only one Cray-3 was delivered. Seymour Cray moved onto the Cray-... Cray-2: The Cray-2 was a vector supercomputer offered by Cray Research beginning in 1985. It was the fastest machine in the world when it was released, replacing Cray's own X-MP in that spot. The Cray-2 was bumped off of the top spot by the ETA-10G in 1990....
