The ILLIAC IV was a ground-breaking, although not directly successful, supercomputer. It was the first supercomputer to be a multi-processor - although it was a tightly coupled SIMD architecture, not a loosely coupled MIMD, as most contemporary supercomputers are now. Its name came from the fact that it was the fourth machine built by the Illinois Automatic Computer (ILLIAC) team.
