Hardware Description

Hitachi announced the SR2001 supercomputer, its first parallel computer, in June 1994. The SR2001 achieved a maximum speed of 23 gigaFLOPS with between eight and 128 RISC chips connected with a 3D crossbar network. Because it ran on a commercial 200-volt service, the supercomputer could be installed in offices or laboratories without any special cooling equipment.
