The supercomputer "Cray X-MP/48" is on display at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in the United States. X-MP has become popular for creating computer graphics, especially film graphics.

Thanks to parallel processing technology, the speed is almost twice that of other computers. It can perform 42 million floating-point operations, or teraflops, per second.

Even allowing two Cray computers to solve two separate parts of the same problem simultaneously would result in considerable speedup. It can be used in a variety of defense and scientific research applications.
