By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 2 sources

The first Cray T3D supercomputer ever manufactured, serial number 6001, is currently up for auction with a starting bid of approximately $81,000. This particular machine, nicknamed 'Typhoon,' was once Europe's fastest supercomputer in June 1996 and was installed at Edinburgh University. The T3D represents a significant shift for Cray into massively parallel supercomputing, moving away from traditional vector systems. The auction also includes two other Cray supercomputers: a Triton T-932 and a Y-MP4E. AI
