Supercomputers and Their Performance in Computational Fluid Dynamics

Supercomputer technologies have evolved rapidly since the first commercial-based supercomputer, CRAY-1 was introduced in 1976. In early 1980's three Japanese super­ computers appeared, and Cray Research delivered the X-MP series. These machines including the later-announced CRAY-2 and NEC SX se...
