Models
The Cyber line included five very different models of computer:
- The 70 and 170 series based on the architecture of the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600
- The 180 series developed by a team in Canada
- The 200 series based on the CDC STAR-100
- The Cyberplus or Advanced Flexible Processor (AFP)
- The Cyber-18 minicomputer based on the CDC 1700
Primarily aimed at large office applications instead of the traditional supercomputer tasks, some of the Cyber machines nevertheless included basic vector instructions for added performance in "traditional" CDC roles.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
