The Edinburgh Concurrent Supercomputer ECS was a large Meiko Computing Surface supercomputer . This transputer based, massively parallel system was installed at the University of Edinburgh during the late 1980s and early 1990s. History Following a pilot project involving an early 40 transputer Computing Surface installed in April 1986, funding was obtained from Science and Engineering Research Council SERC and the Department of Trade and Industry United Kingdom DTI for a much larger system using T800 transputers and a MicroVAX fileserver . The Edinburgh Concurrent Supercomputer Project ECSP was formed to manage and support the facility, which was commissioned at the end of 1987. Over the next few years, the system received several upgrades, including more transputers reaching, at its peak, around 400 processors and the installation of M VCS and MeikOS system software, which enabled multi user access and removed the need for the MicroVAX. In 1990, the Edinburgh Concurrent Supercomputer Project was succeeded by the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre , which consolidated the project with other parallel computing resources and activities within the University. The ECS continued to be used for a variety of academic and commercial research work. In October 1992 the ECS was reconfigured as a SPARC hosted Computing Surface with three SPARC host processors running SunOS and around 380 T800s. The system was finally decommissioned in August 1994.
