莫比尔(Mobil)石油公司的勘探和生产研究中心将是石油界第一个安装Cray T3E系统的单位。在此之前Cray公司研究部为研制这个系统已花费了9200万美元。 Cray T3E是世界上第一台将效率和效能成本核算的规模从数十台处理机提高到数千台处理机的计算机系统。其他计算机销售商都狭隘地把可量测性定义为向系统上加上更多的处理器或内存的能力,但这种方法只是制造出可扩展的系统而并不是真正意义的“相称的”
Mobil Oil Exploration and Production Research Center will be the first unit in the oil industry to install the Cray T3E system. Prior to this Cray Research spent $ 92 million to develop the system. The Cray T3E is the world’s first computer system to scale efficiency and performance costing from tens of processors to thousands of processors. Other computer vendors narrowly define scalability as the ability to add more processors or memory to the system, but this approach simply creates a scalable system that is not truly “symmetrical” "
