Homebrew Cray-1A Using Spartan-3 FPGA
Posted April 29, 2015 by Chris
"This project falls purely into the ‘because I can!’ category – I was poking around the internet one day looking for a Cray emulator and came up dry, so I decided to do something about it. Luckily, the Cray-1 hardware reference manual turned out to be useful enough that implementing most of this was pretty straightforward. The Cray-1 is one of those iconic machines that just makes you say ‘Now that‘s a super computer!’ "
