Control Data Supercomputing Innovation 1957
Founded in 1957 by William Norris and Seymour Cray in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Control Data Corporation (CDC) was a pioneering American mainframe and supercomputer company. CDC was one of the nine major U.S. computer companies in the 1960s, and famously produced the CDC 6600, widely considered the world's first successful supercomputer. CDC became known for high-performance scientific computing and massive data storage devices, many of which were purchased by the military, manufacturing companies, airlines, railroads, research laboratories, and many universities. During the '60s and '70s, CDC's series of supercomputers were considered to be the fastest computing machines in the world, though after Cray left to form Cray Research, he would prove to build the fastest machines from then on. Despite extensive capabilities and valuable technologies, CDC would suffer considerable losses in the '80s that they would never quite recover from, and despite several attempts at reorganization, the company was officially shuttered in 1999.
