Cray Research Cray Triton T-932

Item Description

Cray Research Cray Triton T-932 Supercomputer System

A Cray Triton T-932 Supercomputer System in its full 32-processor configuration, one of only approximately 20 units manufactured and understood to be one of just three surviving T932 systems.

The T932 was the flagship of the Cray T90 series, a historically important machine widely regarded as the last of Cray’s parallel vector supercomputers and among the final immersion-cooled supercomputers, following the legendary Cray-2. A fully configured 32-processor system is said to have carried an original cost of approximately $39,000,000, making it one of the most expensive single-chassis computers ever built.

This system was reportedly installed originally at GCHQ. Acquired without boards, it was subsequently rebuilt over a two-year period in collaboration with Cray Inc. to restore its rare full 32-processor configuration. 

Finished in Cray gold livery, the system comprises three cabinets, dual HEU cooling units, roller lift adapters, and 2 EZIF control units to allow removal of boards, together with a 2nd set of cosmetic panels from a second T916 system finished in British Racing Green.
