Air Force officers and engineers, Earl Ley, Robert Zaller, Michael Gruchalla, and Michael Gadler discuss their past experience working on the CDC 6600 mainframe at the Air Force Weapons Lab at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, NM. While in the Air Force in the late '60's and early '70's, along with Ed Roberts, they discussed future electronic businesses and the role computers could have in society. These discussions lead to the foundation of MITS and the Altair personal computer. Recorded at Paul G. Allen's Living Computer Museum during the MITS 40th Anniversary hosted by Mr. Allen in June 2015.

The CDC 6600 was a mainframe computer from Control Data Corporation, first delivered in 1964. It is generally considered to be the first successful supercomputer, outperforming its fastest predecessor, IBM 7030 Stretch, by about three times. With performance of about 1 megaFLOPS, it remained the world's fastest computer from 1964--69, when it relinquished that status to its successor, the CDC 7600.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ARM’s foundation we worked with the curators of the Science Museum in London to pick 25 people or objects from their Information Age gallery that were pivotal to the creation of modern technology. ARM is part of a wider ecosystem where our partners license our semiconductor IP, which has been shipped in more than 75 billion chips. Without our partners and these technological giants, we wouldn’t be who we are today.

This video describes the relationship between Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Control Data Corporation. It focuses on the Network Operating System: Virtual Environment (NOS/VE). This video was taped at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center located at the Westinghouse Energy Center in Monroeville PA. The video features Jim Kasdorf, former Westinghouse manager and present director at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.
A very short 1967 film describing the Control Data Corporation CDC 6600 computer acquired by a French data processing company. With many thanks to Mr. Ludovic Fiacre who rescued the original French version, we translated and enhanced the narrative into English. For those interested, a small CDC 6600 slide show has been added separately at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCYVcL8Ud1A Film also shows the CDC 3600 and peripheral tape drives, punch card reader, plotter, etc. Black & white.

A 4 minute photo montage of CDC 6600 and other early CDC computers. See also CDC VIDEO Here = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItW7J2yavGo For Educational Purposes only. CDC 6600 was an early Supercomputer designed by the brilliant engineer Seymour Cray.
CDC 6600 • Produced by Control Data Corporation under the leadership of Seymour Cray • Early use of integrated circuits • Performance enhanced by an early version of parallel processing • Like many of Seymour Cray's designs, much of even the basic programming environment left for the Lab to develop • World's fastest computer until CDC 7600 3 million floating point operations per second 3,000,000 floating point ops/sec 3 megaflops
