Definitely not a Cray, here's a picture of a Cray Processor board:

Has to be something much faster. Could it be the processors for AaAP (Asynchronous Array of simple Processors)?

From the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Array_of_Simple_Processors#AsAP_1.0_Chip

"The Asynchronous Array of simple Processors (AsAP) architecture comprises a 2-D array of reduced complexity programmable processors with small memories interconnected by a reconfigurable mesh network. AsAP was developed by the VLSI Computation Laboratory (VCL) at the University of California, Davis and achieves high performance and high energy-efficiency, while requiring a relatively small circuit area.

AsAP processors are well suited for implementation in future fabrication technologies, and are clocked in a Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) fashion. Individual oscillators fully halt (leakage only) in 9 cycles when there is no work to do, and restart at full speed in less than one cycle after work is available. The chip requires no crystal oscillators, PLLs, DLLs, or any global frequency or phase-related signals whatsoever.

The multi-processor architecture efficiently makes use of task-level parallelism in many complex DSP applications, and also efficiently computes many large tasks utilizing fine-grain parallelism."

Not a Cray, but processing and memory is OK. /Inge

Hi folks!  Charlie was actually pretty close in guessing the identity of the "mystery creature" pix Steve posted from me on Friday. You are looking at calcium, sodium, and various other crystal structures that formed as a droplet of water based cleaning solution evaporated!

Inge - is your pix a portion of a Cray computer processing and/or memory die?

I don't know about Inge's pix, but Dave has somehow captured a frost upheaval from my freezer!

Okay Everybody, here's Inge's mystery photo:

http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/PICT0013d.jpg

I don't have a clue what it is yet...

Also Dave Hillman sent me a picture to post for our Friday guessing
contest:

http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/Unknown_Creature.jpg

I don't have a clue about that one either...

Sending Friday picture to Steve.
This is probably a very hard to guess one, so, I will send another photo, and still another, until the coin falls for someone.

Hi,
seems as a little contest was appreciated. Unfortunately, I don't have time to send picture in time to Steve's wonderland screen, will be posted later.
However, I'll give you a thread. The real genious will find out what I'm going to show. The thread is this:  H

Good Luck¨
Inge
