The Superfoonly was a project and computer design done at the Stanford AI Laboratory. The project goal was to make a PDP-10 compatible processor that was an order of magnitude faster than the KA10. The design phase was finished and projected to meet the goal, but at that point ARPA funding was cut. The design was never built.

To help the design, SUDS was created.

The Superfoonly inspired the KL10. The design was updated and built with III funding to become the Foonly F-1. The F-1 was used to render some scenes in the movie TRON.
