Evans & Sutherland's Computer Division said it shipped its first ES-1 moderately parallel supercomputer to the University of Colorado's Center for Applied Parallel Processing.
CAPP and its affiliate organizations comprised of other universities and leading governmental laboratories, industrial and research firms, will use the ES-1 to design new atmospheric and reservoir modeling (oil production) applications and to speed complex structural and aerodynamic designs.Introduced in July, the first ES-1 represents three years of product development and manufacturing efforts at Evans & Sutherland to produce the first general-purpose moderately parallel supercomputer.
Target markets for the ES-1 include university research and government/defense, as well as petroleum, aerospace, automotive and chemical/pharmaceutical industries.
