Minn. (UPI) - Analysts for the long-awaited, and much-heralded CRAY-7 SuperSuperSuperComputer met today in Minneapolis to discuss telecommunica- tion issues for the new machine. The CRAY-7, scheduled for delivery early next year, features a 6.5 psec(picosecond) cycle time on each of its 4096 processors, which share a 64 Kbank memory, each bank to hold 256 Gigawords of 128 bits each. CRAY Research has announced that the CRAY-7 will be cooled by submerging the entire 2.4 cubic inch spherical mainframe in the ice-moon Io, off the southern coast of Saturn. When operational under the MULTI-CUE(TM) Operating System, the CRAY-7 will simultaneously support interactive access for every man woman and child on Earth with guaranteed response time of 14.5 msec(microsecond) or better, while running real work on its 4094 background processors. Power for the new system will be ob- tained by running a drop cord from Io to well in- side the orbit of Mercury, where the intensity if the Solar flares can be converted to HyperElectri- city. The Rings of Saturn will act as a secondary storage device (a.k.a. Rotating Mass Storage) for the CRAY-7.
It is reported that much of the CRAY-7 CPU- time will be devoted to the design of the CRAY-10.
