The Cray-3 was a vector supercomputer intended to be Cray Research's successor to the Cray-2.

Known as vector supercomputers, these machines achieve their speed with a handful of extremely fast processors.

A fully equipped system with 512 nodes would be the world's fastest vector supercomputer at the time of release in the first quarter of 2008.

Cray currently makes vector supercomputers, which are based on a small number of processors designed from custom hardware.

Fujitsu said it thought there was a solid market for vector supercomputers.

Such capacity is beyond the capability of today's vector supercomputers.

Since the late 1990s, the SX series has been amongst the most advanced of vector supercomputers.

Hitachi eventually discontinued development of vector supercomputers in favor of this approach.

The S-3000 family was replaced in 2000 by the SR8000, making it the last vector supercomputer from Hitachi.

The VP2000 were the second series of vector supercomputers from Fujitsu.
