Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The CDC 7600 was
the Seymour Cray-designed successor to the CDC 6600, extending Control
Data's dominance of the supercomputer field into the 1970s. The 7600 had
a 27.5 ns clock cycle and a 65 Kword primary memory using core and
variable-size (up to 512 Kword) secondary memory (depending on site). It
was generally about ten times as fast as the CDC 6600, and could deliver
about 10 MFLOPS on hand-compiled code, with a peak of 36 MFLOPS. When
the system was released in 1969, it carried a price tag around $5
million, more as options and features were added.
