The Cray-1 sold for about $8 million in 1978 (around $38 million in inflation-adjusted dollars). This photograph of Neptune, one of the ice giant planets addressed in a paper recently published by researchers at UC Berkeley, was reconstructed from two images taken by NASA Voyager 2.

TomoCAM delivers higher-quality reconstructions compared to direct approximation methods while being 15 times faster than conventional MBIR methods. NERSC has come a long way since its founding in 1974 with a single CDC 6600 system.
