When I was younger, I desperately wanted a desktop Cray.
Moore’s Law and all that (stuff), but this really brings home how much things have changed in (mumble mumble) years:
The CRAY-1 was rated at 160 MIPS (and 5.5 tons) – The Raspberry Pi -C is 2441 MIPS and 42 gms (ie 15 x a CRAY-1 in integer compute speed, and 130,000 times lighter) – A super-duper computer. Erlang was developed on a VAX 11/750 (0.8 MIPS) (3000 times slower than a RP) https://t.co/vM9kqBs3ag
