Cray T3D, Cray Research's first-generation massively parallel supercomputer architecture, launched in 1993. The T3D is a scalable distributed NUMA architecture containing up to 2048 processing element (PE) nodes of 150 MHz DEC Alpha 21064 processor with either 16 or 64 MiB of DRAM interconnected as a 3D torus, so that each processor can access the memory of every other processor. The T3D does not come as a stand-alone system but required a Y-MP as host system. The T3D PEs ran the Microkernel UNICOS Max. In 1995, the T3D was superseded by the Cray T3E.
