→Parallel Computing in Supercomputers and HPC
The first supercomputer was designed and developed by Seymour Cray, an electrical engineer who was deemed the father of supercomputing. He initially worked for a company called Control Data Corporation where he worked on the CDC 6600 which was the first and fastest supercomputer between 1964 and 1969.
He left in 1972 to form Cray Research and in 1975, announced his own supercomputer, the Cray-1. It was the most powerful and most successful supercomputer in history and was used until the late 1980s.
