About: CDC 8600

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The CDC 8600 was the last of Seymour Cray's supercomputer designs while he worked for Control Data Corporation. As the natural successor to the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600, the 8600 was intended to be about 10 times as fast as the 7600, already the fastest computer on the market. The design was essentially four 7600's, packed into a very small chassis so they could run at higher clock speeds.

  • The CDC 8600 was the last of Seymour Cray's supercomputer designs while he worked for Control Data Corporation. As the natural successor to the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600, the 8600 was intended to be about 10 times as fast as the 7600, already the fastest computer on the market. The design was essentially four 7600's, packed into a very small chassis so they could run at higher clock speeds. Development started in 1968, shortly after the release of the 7600, but the project soon started to bog down. The dense packaging of the system led to serious reliability problems and difficulty cooling the individual components. By 1971, CDC was having cash-flow problems and the design was still not coming together, prompting Cray to leave the company in 1972. The 8600 design effort was eventually canceled in 1974, and Control Data moved on to the CDC STAR-100 series instead. Cray revisited the 8600's basic design in his Cray-2 of the early 1980s. The introduction of integrated circuits solved the problems with dense packaging and liquid cooling addressed the heat issues. The Cray-2 is very similar to the 8600 both physically and conceptually.

  • CDC 8600は、シーモア・クレイがコントロール・データ・コーポレーション (CDC) で設計した最後のスーパーコンピュータである。CDC 6600とCDC 7600の後継機である 8600は、当時世界最高速の 7600の約10倍の性能を目指していた。 開発は7600のリリースの少し後の1968年に開始されたが、プロジェクトはすぐに泥沼にはまりこんだ。1971年にはCDCはキャッシュフロー問題を抱えており、設計はまだ目処が立っていなかったため、1972年にクレイは会社を辞めることとなった。8600の設計は結局 1974年に中止され、CDCは代わりに CDC STAR-100シリーズに移行した。 (ja)
  • Il CDC 8600 fu l'ultimo supercomputer progettato da Seymour Cray per la Control Data Corporation. Concepito come il successore naturale dei CDC 6600 e CDC 7600, secondo il progetto doveva essere 10 volte più veloce del 7600, diventando il supercomputer più veloce del mercato. Lo sviluppo ebbe inizio nel 1968 poco dopo la presentazione del 7600 ma quasi subito il progetto si trovò ad affrontare molti problemi. Nel 1971 la CDC aveva problemi di liquidità e il progetto era lontano del completamento. Quando la CDC decise di concentrarsi su un altro supercomputer, Cray decise di abbandonare la società, finché nel 1974 l'azienda decise di cancellare il progetto e di presentare la serie CDC STAR-100.
