That was for the C series, is a totally different beast than the SPP and
exemplars. The C were mini-crays in the sense that they were vector
processors, not a bunch of scalar processors thrown together.

They use the same chip, but the rest of the system, specially the
interconnection fabric is propietary, and I doubt Convex will document nor
share the details of it.
