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 [[F-1]]. The F-1 was used to render some scenes in the movie TRON.
