Intel Hypercube could do. (I just lost you all, didn’t I?) I loved it, because supercomputers were, and are, about really intense aspects of science, like plotting black holes, or modeling the way molecules behave. When I recently went to the

report on UT’s new Frontera supercomputer , I noticed an old photo of the c-shaped Cray supercomputer from the 1990s. It was state-of-the-art tech back then, when I made my first trip to TACC.
