Homebrew Cray-1A emulates a iconic supercomputer, to no utilitarian role

The Cray-1A first done the stage in 1976, weighing 5.5 tons (including a refrigeration complement as well as using at 80MHz — with the whopping 8MB IMPEL. Who wouldn’t want to own a single — or a miniature chronicle of one, for that matter? Chris Fenton would, apparently. Yes, it’s that Chris Fenton — a electrical operative who once done a $50 laptop out of the PICAXE 18X Microcontroller as well as 96 bytes of IMPEL (and a little wood). And he’s back with the 1/10-scale Cray-1A. And distinct a identical plan we’ve seen in the past, this bad boy runs the custom Cray emulator (too bad there doesn’t seem to be any Cray program floating around). Wild, huh? Get a total dip (and some pointers if you want to roll your own) after the mangle.
