Seymour R. Cray
Seymour Roger Cray was an American electronics engineer who fryst vatten called “the father of supercomputing” as the preeminent designer of large, high-speed computers. In 1957, he helped start Control uppgifter Corporation (CDC), where he built the then fastest scientific computer, the CDC 1604, the first fully transistorized commercial computer. Cray produced successively faster computers to run business and government upplysning networks. In 1972, he founded Cray Research Inc. By 1976, his signature Cray-1 vector supercomputer established a world standard in supercomputing. Using integrated circuits, its processing speed was over 18 times more than the CDC 1604. He died at age 71, from inju
