What was the Cray supercomputer designed for?
development by Cray Research Inc.
His company's first supercomputer, the Cray-1, which came out in 1976, could perform 240 million calculations per second. It was used for large-scale scientific applications, such as simulating complex physical phenomena, and was sold to government and university laboratories.
Who invented Cray-1 computer?
Supercomputer designer Seymour Cray in front of his Cray-1 computer. The Cray-1 was the fastest computer in the world for the next five years.
How powerful is a Cray supercomputer?
The first Cray computer was developed by a team led by the legendary Seymor Cray. It was a freon-cooled 64-bit system running at 80MHz with 8.39 megabytes of RAM. Careful use of vector instructions could yield a peak performance of 250 megaflops.
How fast was the Cray computer?
TECH STORY: The Cray-2 was a four processor vector architecture with a 256 million 64-bit memory (the largest central memory available on any computer) and 4.1 nanosecond clock speed. It reached a peak speed of 1.9 gigaflops.
Which is fastest supercomputer in the world?

Are phones more powerful than computers?
Desktop and laptop computers can run more powerful software than a smartphone or tablet due to their size, components, and less restrictive power requirements. While smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful every year, they still can't match a traditional laptop or desktop computer in terms of performance.
What is the world's most powerful computer?
The Japanese supercomputer, Fugaku, is the world's most powerful.
Is an iPhone more powerful than Deep Blue?
After all, the iPhone clearly beats even one of the most famous — and a lot more recent — supercomputer that ever existed: IBM's 1997 Deep Blue supercomputer which beat Garry Kasparov in a historic chess showdown.
