Cultural underground legende Seymour Cray and his legacy

Whereof everyone is interested,



A few things about his architecture is extraordinary special.

#1 ideal properties, can never be done better for some things.
#1.1 analogue, you need ground and good drain, to do work during weak force pull.
#1.2 physical, independent IC's, relying on physics for syncronization.
#1.2.1 allowing digital global sync between die slots, async, but local
sync with global clock.
#1.3 as a turing machine, everything is virtually represented with
arrays of addresesses in cintinous memory.
#1.3.1 You get scalar operations on your vectors with SIMD insutrctions.
#1.3.2 Remotely scatter data in remote memory, that is gathered into
another continous area of memory with addresses to data.


On the one hand, where this gives 8x the performance at a high price, it
likely caused as much awe, inspiration and anxiety in the finance sector
where Cray got the funding to research, build and sell these beasts.

The Cult of the Holy Cow, and The Cult of the Dead Cow are oxymorons if
the contexts abd historic circumstances are to be considered.

Using hex numbers, would ideally imply an understanding of the Cray
architecture, and why it perhaps now can be be software defined.

My ssh keys make more sense than this gibberish.

Is this a new UMF experiment ?

Is this a new UMF experiment ?
Does it involve integrating this on a chip? Not sure if past successes
are that great.

good to know the cia runs pysops in mailinglists too
gangstalking is confirmed real

According to recently declassified CIA documents, most gangstalking
perpetrators don't know they're doing it because they're being
mind-controlled by the MKULTRA satellites. Now that you know, please
stop gangstalking us.

The puns where uninviting, and didn't inspire snide remarks and comments
that weren't drivel without content and context.

Thereof interests in logic has invited investigations of tautologies as
a concept in logic, whereof one cannt speak and merely add drivel.

Not sure if it's true entirely, but for the orginal Cray's, first an
engineer came to try and get it to work, if not, Seymour gave it a try
before shipping a replacement. Likely because he tortured the
electromechanical properties around the central part so much that it was
touchy feely.

Anyone intelligeble around this topic likely have passing interest for
having a gray beard and being sick and tiered of "what did cray do",
"what if he set a more reasonable goal than 10x the closest competitor".

Balder,

Get your non-openbsd related crap off the openbsd lists.

In other words: go away.

That how that machine worked, also synonymous with supercomputing which
essentially died with the company.

Only relevant reason to have a Demon as a logo for UNIX is allusions to
Maxwells tortured physics demon.

Anyone not a pundit, familiar with this may correct me?
