Installations
Before ETA Systems was reincorporated into CDC, a total of 25 systems were delivered. Among the recipients were:
- Florida State University (took delivery of the first ETA10 system, serial number 1, on January 5, 1987)
- Johnson Space Center
- John von Neumann Supercomputer Center (when no buyers could be found for the two ETA10 machines at this center, they were destroyed with sledgehammers to prevent illicit use)
- Purdue University (contributed to ETA System V, the System V UNIX variant that ran on the ETA10).
- Tokyo Institute of Technology Took delivery of an 8-CPU liquid-cooled system in 1988
- Academia Sinica
- Deutscher Wetterdienst
By the end of the 1980s, the remaining ETA10 systems were donated to high schools through a computer science competition, SuperQuest:
- Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
