ENIAC
On February 14, 1946, the government released Eniac from its shroud of secrecy. “A new machine that is expected to revolutionize the mathematics of engineering and change many of our industrial design methods was announced today by the War Department,” began an Army press release. It described a “mathematical robot” working at “phenomenal” speed that “frees scientific thought from the drudgery of lengthy calculating work.” -
IBM 7030
The IBM 7030 Data Processing System is the fastest, the most powerful and versatile in the world. It is now nearing completion at IBM's laboratories in Poughkeepsie, New York. The first system, the original STRETCH, is being readied for the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory under contract to the Atomic Energy Commission. -

Cray-1
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. Eventually, over 100 Cray-1's were sold, making it one of the most successful supercomputers in history. It is perhaps best known for its unique shape, a relatively small C-shaped cabinet with a ring of benches around the outside covering the power supplies. -

Cray X-MP
The Cray X-MP was a supercomputer designed, built and sold by Cray Research. The company's first shared-memory, parallel vector processor (PVP) machine. It was the 1982 "cleaned up" successor to the 1976 Cray-1, and the world's fastest computer 1983–1985. The principal designer was Steve Chen. -
ETA10 G
The ETA10 is a line of vector supercomputers designed, manufactured, and marketed by ETA Systems, a spin-off division of Control Data Corporation (CDC). The ETA10 was announced in 1986, with the first deliveries made in early 1987. The system was an evolution of the CDC Cyber 205, which can trace its origins back to the CDC STAR-100. By 1990, ETA Systems was reincorporated into CDC and production discontinued. -
Cray-2
The Cray-2 was a four-processor ECL vector supercomputer made by Cray Research starting in 1985. It was the fastest machine in the world when it was released, replacing the Cray Research X-MP designed by Steve Chen in that spot. The Cray-2 was capable of 1.9 GFLOPS peak performance and was only bumped off of the top spot by the ETA-10G in 1990. -

Fujitsu Numerical Wind Tunnel
Numerical Wind Tunnel was an early implementation of the vector parallel architecture developed in a joint project between National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan and Fujitsu. It was the first supercomputer with a sustained performance of close to 100 Gflop/s for a wide range of fluid dynamics application programs. It stood out at the top of the TOP500 during 1993-1996. With 140 cores, the Numerical Wind Tunnel reached a Rmax of 124.0 GFlop/s and a Rpeak of 235.8 GFlop/s. -
Intel ASCI Red
Intel’s ASCI Red supercomputer was the first teraflop/s computer, taking the No.1 spot on the 9th TOP500 list in June 1997 with a Linpack performance of 1.068 teraflop/s. Intel’s ASCI Red marked the beginning of a new supercomputer era. In the mid-90s when vector computers started to become less important, The U.S. Department of Energy’s ASCI (Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative) program, which focused on defense applications, opened up a completely new source of funds. -

IBM ASCI White, SP Power3 375 MHz
The peak performance of the computer is 12.3 teraflops.it is capable of computing 12.3 trillion operations per second. It's achieved through its massively parallel design. The processors are IBM RS6000 SP Power3's, 375 MHz. 8,192 of these processors in the core compute system. 6Tb Ram. It's housed in over two hundred cabinets, a large room with an area the size of two basket ball courts.
IBM's AIX operating systems.can be developed using the wide variety of languages including FORTRAN and C/C++. -
Earth Simulator
The Earth Simulator is a Japanese supercomputer designed to simulate and predict the Earth and the Earth's future. It was first introduced in 1996 by the Science Technology Agency. By February 2002 the Earth Simulator was up and running it's preliminary checkups, and the project had been assigned solely to JAMSTEC.
