CDC 7600 Supercomputer, LLNL, 1970s
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory computer scientists responded to the availability of the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600 with a long, fertile period of custom software development. The Livermore Time Sharing System (LTSS) enabled hundreds of users to run application codes simultaneously and tune them interactively. Large libraries of Fortran subroutines evolved, optimized for the Laboratory's mathematical and graphical needs. The local job-control language, online documentation system, and file-storage service set the standards in their fields, as did the whimsically named Octopus network that efficiently connected hundreds of remote terminals and printers to the central, shared computers. No photographer credited, circa 1970s.
