===Supercomputers=== The Intel Scientific Computers division was founded in 1984 by [[Justin Rattner]], to design and produce [[parallel computing|parallel computers]] based on Intel microprocessors connected in [[hypercube internetwork topology]].<ref name="wilson-1994">{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Gregory|year=1994|title=The History of the Development of Parallel Computing|url=http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~history/Parallel.html|access-date=November 11, 2010|archive-date=December 5, 1996|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961205015555/http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~history/Parallel.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1992, the name was changed to the Intel Supercomputing Systems Division, and development of the [[iWarp]] architecture was also subsumed.<ref name="cmu-iwarp">{{cite web|title=iWarp Project|url=http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/iwarp/archive/WWW-pages/iwarp.html|access-date=November 11, 2010|publisher=[[Carnegie Mellon University]]|archive-date=June 10, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610044317/http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/iwarp/archive/WWW-pages/iwarp.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The division designed several [[supercomputer]] systems, including the [[Intel iPSC/1]], [[Intel iPSC/2|iPSC/2]], [[Intel iPSC/860|iPSC/860]], [[Intel Paragon|Paragon]] and [[ASCI Red]].
