Cray collection

we collected a bunch of Crays. The Y-MP EL in front is currently working, the others behind will be restored one day.

Collection of Crays

Crays and Cybers

These two will only be for display, but won't be running again.

#NASA Launches Its Most Powerful, Efficient #Supercomputer bringing #Athena Online at #AmesResearchCenter
Composed of 4 #HPE #Cray #EX4000 racks, with 264,144 cores, 768TB of memory, and a 20.132 Pflop/s theoretical peak! Likely placing it in the top 100 of the #Top500 list.

From time to time I need to lookup some rarely used vi commands. Good to have a vi reference card laying around at my desk 😀 #vintagecomputing #cray #vi #unicos

#Uff A new “must-have” has appeared on the horizon: The #cray #mug 😍

Meine geliebte Y-MP EL von #cray #vintagecomputing

@rahmstorf <sakrasm>Oh, da wird dann eine Menge an Supercomputer frei. Ich nehme gerne deren #Cray... </sarkasm>
Die sind seit langem eine der grossen Atmosphären Forschungsplätze, die NCAR.

Commands I did not know about so far:
whodo. #Cray #datArena

When you unpack the tarball of gcc-2.9 and start compiling and it stops with the strange error, that the built stuff is older than the content of the tarball. Welcome on my #Cray, which remains in 1993.
So had to touch a lot of files to get them back to history lane.... #datArena

It's Friday, and I must reiterate,

"This is NOT a Cray supercomputer"

I reiterate, this is not a #cray #computer, super or otherwise (shot at Kvarteret, Bergen during the Bergen Open Source Conference October 30th 2025) #boskonf #bergen

Not an actual #cray

You can finger me, I'm UNICOS root :)

Assembeling #Cray Cabinet3-4 to meet with Cabinet1-2
And the interlink is heavy. The connectors are upside down and off by a few millimeters. Took ages to get it plugged in correctly.
Running machine can be visited at #datarena

Say what you want, but that's a lovely idea
