On this day 99 years ago, Seymour Cray was born. If somebody isn't familiar with this name: He designed the Control Data 6600 and 7600 supercomputers, followed by the iconic Cray-1 and the slightly less iconic Cray-2 supercomputers. Some of his design decisions from the late 1960s and early 1970s still apply to todays CPUs. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #cray
