The first Cray T3D ever built. Serial number 6001. Once the fastest supercomputer in Europe
This is “Typhoon”, serial number 6001, the very first Cray T3D ever produced. It was installed at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre at the University of Edinburgh, and in June 1996 it ranked 22nd fastest in the world and number one in Europe on the TOP500. It’s been in private hands for over 20 years. Still wearing its original Tomato Red livery.
