I thought of N-Cube machines when I saw it, CM didn't even occur to me.

Worked on the CM-1 and CM2. I felt they were awful buggy. At one point they asked if they could use my code to run as a diagnostic, it would break the log() function on occasion. T…

Reminds me of DOGE :)

Physical appearance or architecturally?

Yeah, ours was a fluid dynamics problem that needed information from neighboring cells. So at some point there needed to be data moving between cells and that really killed perform…

Yup, getting the the problem to fit the machine was hard. I thought NCUBE was better than the CM1 for doing actual work. Some people resorted to just running each node separately, …

Would you care to elaborate on why? I had to work on one and didn't really see what the fuss was about. Performance still sucked compared to a Cray2. I mean it was supposed to be a…

I thought it (CM1) was a turd when I worked on it as a grad student. Looked cool though. I would go to conferences where people would proudly present their algorithm getting 1MFLOP…

Yeah she had one of these too.

It was not all that easy to get to and not all that easy to mount a switch securely near by. May be I just lacked imagination. The real reason and the part I skipped was the leakag…

I had a 2005 Acura RL which had some pretty fancy electronics for its time. I gave it to my daughter a few years ago and she started reporting that the battery was dying. It would …
