Fujitsu announced the supercomputer in September 1992 as being the world’s fastest performing supercomputer at the time with a speed of 355 gigaFLOPS. Fujitsu arranged briefcase-sized processor units, each capable of vector processing, in parallel to obtain this performance. Fujitsu connected 222 processor units in parallel to reach 355 gigaFLOPS.
