Over the years a number of systems for distributed file management were developed, e.g., the IBM General Parallel File System, BeeGFS, the Parallel Virtual File System, Hadoop, etc. [23] [24] A number of supercomputers on the TOP100 list such as the Tianhe-I use Linux's Lustre file system. [4]
3D rendering of a Cray-1 with two figures as scale. The Cray-1 was a supercomputer designed, manufactured and marketed by Cray Research.Announced in 1975, the first Cray-1 system was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976.
A Cray-1 supercomputer preserved at the Deutsches Museum. The history of supercomputing goes back to the 1960s when a series of computers at Control Data Corporation (CDC) were designed by Seymour Cray to use innovative designs and parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance. [1]
A supercomputer operating system is an operating system intended for supercomputers. Since the end of the 20th century, supercomputer operating systems have undergone major transformations, as fundamental changes have occurred in supercomputer architecture . [ 1 ]

The IBM Blue Gene/P supercomputer "Intrepid" at Argonne National Laboratory runs 164,000 processor cores using normal data center air conditioning, grouped in 40 racks/cabinets connected by a high ...
The Cray-3 was a vector supercomputer, Seymour Cray's designated successor to the Cray-2. The system was one of the first major applications of gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors in computing, using hundreds of custom built ICs packed into a 1 cubic foot (0.028 m 3) CPU.
Even big brains can have a blip. And IBM's supercomputer Watson is no exception, despite its bank of 90 IBM Power 750 servers that can process the equivalent of 1 million books of information a ...
NEC SX describes a series of vector supercomputers designed, manufactured, and marketed by NEC. This computer series is notable for providing the first computer to exceed 1 gigaflop, [1] [2] as well as the fastest supercomputer in the world between 1992–1993, and 2002–2004. [3] The current model, as of 2018, is the SX-Aurora TSUBASA.
