Wow. I wonder what kind of computers they used for that in the 80's. Had to have been something a hell of a lot more powerful than consumer grade computers. That's really damned impressive! |
I don't have extensive knowledge of supercomputers of the era but I know of a couple. The Bosh and the Cray series. Cray computer was used for Tron. Back then CGI was custom software unique to that computer and programmer I believe.
64bit CPU at 80MHZ 9MB of Ram. 300MB of Storage. 160MFLOPS in 1975. I think it was the first to do vector processors. Think of it as the great great great grand daddy to the Cell in PS3 CPU lol
