ILLIAC IV

ILLIAC IV

ILLIAC IV je relativno nepoznat superračunar razvijen na Univerzitetu u Ilinoisu. Zasnivao se na paralelizmu i mogao je imati do 256 procesora. Takvi računari nazivaju se vektorskim računarima. Računar je nakon desetak godina razvoja 1976. godine postao operativan. Bio je masivan i skup, a po osobinama nije se mogao meriti s komercijalnim Cray-1.

Računar je izrađen uz pomoć agencije DARPA, a prvi dizajn bio je gotov 1966. godine. Brzina računara prbitno je planirana na 1 GFLOPS, ali kasnije je smanjena na 200 MFLOPS.
