Summary

[edit]
Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description This image shows the only known representation of the Seymour Cray-designed CDC 8600 supercomputer. It appears to be a mock-up, not a working prototype. The CDC 8600 never successfully exited development and was one of Cray's few "flops".

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) CDC 8600
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The CDC 8600 was the first computer to use Cray's circular-packed computer design, which is used to shorten the distances between components and therefore reduce inter-module delays. No computer before or after has had this layout, although the soon-to-follow Cray-1 shows clear influences from the 8600 design.
