Pleiades (/ ˈ p l aɪ ə d iː z, ˈ p l iː ə-/) is a petascale supercomputer housed at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at NASA's Ames Research Center located at Moffett Field near Mountain View, California. [3] It is maintained by NASA and partners Hewlett Packard Enterprise (formerly Silicon Graphics International) and Intel.
The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division is located at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field in the heart of Silicon Valley in Mountain View, California.It has been the major supercomputing and modeling and simulation resource for NASA missions in aerodynamics, space exploration, studies in weather patterns and ocean currents, and space shuttle and aircraft design and development for ...
The Aitken is a petascale supercomputer installed at the Ames Research Center facility, manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. [1] It initially consisted of 1,150 HPE SGI 8600 nodes, [2] with an estimated performance of 3.69 petaflops.
The RAD750 system has a price that is comparable to the RAD6000, the latter of which as of 2002 was listed at US$200,000 (equivalent to $338,797 in 2023). [4] Customer program requirements and quantities, however, greatly affect the final unit costs. [citation needed] The RAD750 is based on the PowerPC 750. [1]

The SGI Altix platform was selected due to a positive experience with Kalpana, a single-node Altix 512-CPU system built and operated by NASA and SGI and named after Columbia astronaut Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian-born woman to fly in space. Kalpana was later integrated into the Columbia supercomputer system as the first node of twenty.

A total of 40,000 units were sold; 90% of them in the United States where the sale price was $3,200 [4] (increasing to about $3,500 in 1968. [7]) About 10 [19] Programma 101 were sold to NASA and used to plan the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. By Apollo 11 we had a desktop computer, sort of, kind of, called an Olivetti Programma 101.
