This is a replacement for "CDC 7600: GC2P4XW". It used to be in the next block over which was reduced to a giant pile of rubble that would have increased the difficulty rating to a 5 -- so it was archived. It's time for a successor. The CDC 7600 was the successor to the CDC 6600. It was roughly 10 times as fast as the 6600. The introduction of an instruction pipeline helped solve the problem of the 6600's functional units sitting idle unless the code was carefully scheduled to achieve overlap. Physically, the machine was in a horseshoe shape to allow for eacy access to the insides and the outsides while keeping distances short for speed. The wood paneling and blue glass provide a designer's touch.
More details on the CDC 7600 can be found at CDC 7600
The primary software development facility in those days was at 215 Moffett Park Drive (See CDC 6600 cache for picture). Times were good and CDC overflowed available space so the building at 155 Moffett Park Drive (aka the Prudential Building) was leased for extra space. That building complex is now gone, being replaced by the new Silicon Valley of high-rise office towers.
Congratulations on a joint FTF to Storyhaven, Chrysalides, NoBigDipper, and PAVEIT.
