To date clusters do not typically use physically shared memory, while many supercomputer architectures have also abandoned it.
C to HDL techniques are most commonly applied to applications that have unacceptably high execution times on existing general-purpose supercomputer architectures.
The T3D (Torus, 3-Dimensional) was Cray Research's first attempt at a massively parallel supercomputer architecture.
The Cray T3E was Cray Research's second-generation massively parallel supercomputer architecture, launched in late November 1995.
Approaches to supercomputer architecture have taken dramatic turns since the earliest systems were introduced in the 1960s.
Since the end of the 20th century, supercomputer operating systems have undergone major transformations, as sea changes have taken place in supercomputer architecture.
The Advanced Scientific Computer, or ASC, was a supercomputer architecture designed by Texas Instruments (TI) between 1966 and 1973.
Most applications are ones which take too long with existing supercomputer architectures.
Early supercomputer architectures pioneered by Seymour Cray relied on compact innovative designs and local parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance.
Some supercomputer architectures of the 1970s and 1980s used registers up to 64 bits wide.
