Cray Inc. builds upon a rich history that extends back to 1972, when the legendary Seymour Cray, the "father of supercomputing," founded Cray Research.
The History of the Development of Parallel Computing

A vector processor , or array processor , is a central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set containing instructions that operate on one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors . This is in contrast to a scalar processor , whose instructions operate on single data items. Although Intel processors and their clones were designed initially as scalar, new models contain an increasing number of specialized vector instructions such as those supplied by the Advanced Vector Extensions set.

The goal of the Condor ® Project is to develop, implement, deploy, and evaluate mechanisms and policies that support High Throughput Computing (HTC) on large collections of distributively owned computing resources. Guided by both the technological and sociological challenges of such a computing environment, the Condor Team has been building software tools that enable scientists and engineers to increase their computing throughput.

Designing a Cluster Computer
The first step in designing a cluster is to choose the building block. The processing power, memory, and disk space of each node as well as the communication bandwidth between the nodes are all factors that can be chosen. You will need to decide which are important based on the mixture of applications you intend to run on the cluster, and the amount of money you have to spend.
