seymour cray (foldoc) | Seymour Cray
The founder of Cray Research and designer of
several of their supercomputers.
Cray has been a charismatic yet somewhat reclusive figure. He
began Cray Research in Minnesota in 1972. In 1988, Cray moved
his Cray-3 project to Colorado Springs. The next year, Cray
Research spun it off to create Cray Computer. In 1989, Cray
left Cray Research and started Cray Computer Corporation in Colorado
Springs.
His quest to build a faster computer using new-generation
materials failed in 1995, and his bankruptcy cost half a
billion dollars and more than 400 jobs. The company was
unable to raise $20 million needed to finish the Cray-4 and
filed for bankruptcy in March 1995.
In the summer of 1996, Cray started a Colorado Springs-based
company called SRC Computers, Inc. "We think we'll build
computers, but who knows what kind or how," Cray said at the
time. "We'll talk it over and see if we can come up with a
plan."
On 1996-09-22, aged 70, Cray broke his neck in a car accident.
Surgery for massive head injuries and swelling of the brain
left him in a critical and unstable condition. He died on
1996-10-05.
(1997-03-02)
