Intel Paragon OSF/1 AD on the Paragon's compute processors. Oak Ridge National Laboratory operated a Paragon XP/S 150 MP, one of the largest Paragon systems, for several years. The prototype for the Intel Paragon was the Intel Delta, built by Intel with funding from DARPA and installed operationally at the California Institute of Technology in the late 1980s with funding from the National Science Foundation. The Delta was one of the few computers to sit significantly above the curve of Moore's Law. The computer boards was produced in two variants: the GP16 with 16 MB of memory and two CPUs, and the

Sutton makes the caveat that while it is essential to screen for assholes, a company should not recruit “spineless wimps.” He believes constructive arguments benefit firms and help workers come up with better ideas.
