First-Gen Supercomputer Resurrected

In a move reminiscent of a Hall of Fame induction, the Living Computer Museum in Seattle recently made room in its collection for the CDC 6500 system, a first-generation supercomputer built by Control Data Corporation in 1967.

The massive machine, which the museum will attempt to restore to its former operating glory, was delivered “in three separate bays, tipping the scales at 4,000 lbs. each,” notes HPC Wire.
