STARAN was one such beast. It had a PDP-11 as the control unit and ran queries in parallel for instance for air traffic control. Load the memory up with your planes (that's whatthe PDP is for). And then perform operations in parallel on all memory units at once. And query for anything you need to know.
Very interesting devices.

And frankly I'm too busy to fix it. Seems XP is my workhorse, the current installation is from 20th Jan 2009. No virus protection.
My host OS is virtually irrelevant anyway. All I do is run the apps that connect to servers, the only one different on Linux is Putty : Putty, Drawterm, Thunderbird, Firefox, Pidgin, Chrome, VLC for http://dfm.nu/
