One has to remember what the machines were used for.
It was designed
to solve very large problems that create huge arrays. Oil mapping is
one thing that does that, the others explode.
Two local machines that I remember was Apple, using Cray in their Esthetics Design Lab and
another at Industrial Light and Magic to control the models in many of the scenes from
Star Wars.
Another Lucas company, Droids Inc, had one on order. Whatever happened to them anyway?
The US Navy had at least one in Monterrey at the Fleet Weather Station.
I can't find my notes, but I'm certain that GM had one or more in their design
department in detroit.
