DESCRIPTION:VHSIC and the ETA-10: The First CMOS and Only Cryogenically Coo
 led Supercomputer\n\nDavid Bondurant\, Retired PE\n\nPikes Peak Life Membe
 r Affinity Group Chair\n\nRegion 5 North Area LMAG Coordinator\n\nControl 
 Data Corporation (CDC) was the World’s Leading Supercomputer company for
  40-years. Starting as classified group of Navy code breakers during WWII 
 building tube-type computers\, CDC was building the fastest computers by t
 he 1970s in the Twin Cities.\n\nBy the early 1980s\, CDC needed a dramatic
  leap forward to stay ahead of Cray Research\, and several Japanese superc
 omputer companies. They creates ETA Systems to build a computer 10 times m
 ore powerful than any of the day\, the ETA-10.\n\nDuring the 1970s\, field
 ed military computer technology was failing to keep pace with rapidly evol
 ving commercial technology. In 1980\, the DoD launched an aggressive techn
 ology development called Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) to ra
 pidly develop 1.2 micron and 0.5 micron semiconductor and advanced compute
 r-aided design tools. Across town from ETA Systems\, Honeywell Solid State
  Electronics was developing leading edge CMOS and packaging technologies u
 nder a VHSIC contract.\n\nThe presentation will describe how Honeywell and
  ETA Systems worked together to create the ETA-10\, The First CMOS and Onl
 y Cryogenically Cooled Supercomputer.\n\nSpeaker(s): David\, \n\nColorado
