The Cray-Cyber folks clain a Cray YMP-EL, which, again, is somewhat
questionable as "supercomputer" (1992, 133Mflop/CPU) considering the
time. Compare, for example, with a "real" supercomputer from 5 years
earlier, the ETA-10 running at 10Gflop.
"Supercomputer" to my mind, depends on a the relative level of
performance for the time.

How about a
large CDC or IBM?
There are still Cyber 960s (in very small amounts). The CDC water
machines are out of service.
