Documented CRAY-1 vector architecture and compiler route for scientific workloads.
Scientific scope
The record is Russell's sole-author 1978 Communications of the ACM paper. It does not absorb Seymour Cray's wider design career, every CRAY-1 contributor, later Cray systems or performance beyond the described architecture and contemporary class.
