  1. I intended to write this post about -9- months ago (not to mention maybe a few other posts as well), but the world got crazy and life got busy and, well, better late than never.

    INIT HELLO: A New Apple II Conference (Scope Creep Done Right)

    ( Note: registration is open for INIT HELLO 2026 -- to be held once again at the System Source Computer Museum outside Baltimore, MD -- until May 24th! )

    ( But today is the last day you can order a t-shirt! )

  3. Всё, что вы хотели узнать о Хабре, но боялись спросить

    В одной из тихих комнат интернета недавно произошёл маленький научный эксперимент. Эксперимент был поставлен без лаборатории, без белых халатов и даже без гранта. Достаточно было двух статей. Первая статья была серьёзная:

  4. Cray: оживление легенды

    В ИТ-индустрии существуют вещи, само существование которых давно стало красивым мифом, о котором принято вспоминать лишь шепотом и закатывая глаза от благоговения.

  5. Cray collection

    we collected a bunch of Crays. The Y-MP EL in front is currently working, the others behind will be restored one day.

    Collection of Crays

    Crays and Cybers

    These two will only be for display, but won't be running again.

    Composed of 4 #HPE #Cray #EX4000 racks, with 264,144 cores, 768TB of memory, and a 20.132 Pflop/s theoretical peak! Likely placing it in the top 100 of the #Top500 list.

  7. From time to time I need to lookup some rarely used vi commands. Good to have a vi reference card laying around at my desk 😀 #vintagecomputing #cray #vi #unicos

  8. @rahmstorf <sakrasm>Oh, da wird dann eine Menge an Supercomputer frei. Ich nehme gerne deren #Cray... </sarkasm>
    Die sind seit langem eine der grossen Atmosphären Forschungsplätze, die NCAR.

  10. When you unpack the tarball of gcc-2.9 and start compiling and it stops with the strange error, that the built stuff is older than the content of the tarball. Welcome on my #Cray, which remains in 1993.
    So had to touch a lot of files to get them back to history lane.... #datArena

  11. I reiterate, this is not a #cray #computer, super or otherwise (shot at Kvarteret, Bergen during the Bergen Open Source Conference October 30th 2025) #boskonf #bergen

    And the interlink is heavy. The connectors are upside down and off by a few millimeters. Took ages to get it plugged in correctly.

  13. If I had realised yesterday that it was Seymore Crays 100th birthday then I would have definitely posted these selfies I took at #TNMOC 5 years ago, and a link to my Crayzee Eighty too rc2014.co.uk/1865/crayzee-eigh
    Instead, I will do that to celebrate 100 years and 1 day since #Cray was born :-)

  14. Perl on a Cray Y-MP EL

    Compiling Perl on a Cray is not an easy task, if you only have a few hours every Tuesday. And taking a Cray home, even the little Y-MP EL, is not an option. Neither is letting it run unattended.

    The frustrating part is the wait. Unicos does not even have a 'top' command, so ps -efa is your best friend

  16. It’s Xenix

    While compiling Perl on the Cray I stumbled over the following lines...

    Compiling Perl on UNICOS system

    It's not Xenix...

    Hmm... Looks kind of like an extended USG system, but we'll see...
    Congratulations. You aren't running Eunice.
    It's not Xenix...
    Nor is it Venix...
    Use which C compiler? [cc]

    Well Xe

    The Cray Y-MP EL still has some issues with connections to the outside world. After fixing the battery issue, we still have problems to communicate via TCP/IP over the Ethernet. The Cray is connected through a Ethernet Interface card which has an AUI connector. On that AUI plug we have an AUI to Ethernet-Adapter and this connects

  18. No "almost" about it -- any good cell phone in 2024 would seem like pure magic if you sent it back to 1978, even though doing so would disable nearly all of its functions due to the absence of cell service, wifi, and the Internet.

    I wrote software on the more advanced Cray 2 in the late 1980s. Its power was literally awe-inspiring. 1/2
