The Intel Scientific Computers division was founded in 1984 by
Justin Rattner, in order to design and produce
parallel computers based on Intel microprocessors connected in
hypercube topologies.
In 1992 the name was changed to the Intel Supercomputing Systems Division, and development of the
iWarp architecture was also subsumed.
The division designed several
supercomputer systems, including the
Intel iPSC/1,
iPSC/2,
iPSC/860,
Paragon and
ASCI Red.
