Seymour Cray
American supercomputer architect (1925–1996)
Seymour Roger Cray (September 28, 1925[1] – October 5, 1996)[2] was an American electrical engineer and supercomputer architect who designed a series of computers that were the fastest in the world for decades, and founded Cray Research, which built many of these machines.
Called "the father of supercomputing",[2] Cray has been credited with creating the supercomputer industry.[3]Joel S. Birnbaum, then chief technology officer of Hewlett-Packard, said of him: "It seems impossible to exaggerate the effect he had on the industry; many of the things that high performance computers now do routinely were at the farthest edge of credibility when Seymour envisioned them."[4]Larry Smarr, then director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois said that Cray is "the Thomas Edison of the supercomputing industry."[5]
