History Supercomputers were first developed in the early 1970s when Seymour Cray introduced the “Cray 1” supercomputer. Because microprocessors were not yet available, the processor consisted of individual integrated circuits.

builds upon a rich history that extends back to 1972, when the legendary Seymour Cray, the "father of supercomputing," founded Cray Research. R&D and manufacturing were based in his hometown of Chippewa The company continued its leadership in providing the most powerful supercomputers for production applications.

We've all heard of supercomputers. History is full of examples of computers that have run out of memory addressing space for important applications while still relatively early in their life (e.g., the PDP-8, the IBM System 360, and the IBM PC). Ideally, a system should be designed to last for 10 years without running out...

Up until this time, all the Cray supercomputers at ECMWF used a shared memory, i.e. each of the processors in the system could access directly any part of the memory. In 1994 ECMWF entered the new world of distributed memory parallel processing, with the installation of a Cray T3D system.
