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
Doubling time in five years, and an Egyptian proverb of the time was "If wealth is placed where it bears interest, it comes back to you redoubled." Examining the doubling time can give a more intuitive sense of the long-term impact of growth than simply viewing the percentage growth rate For a constant growth rate of "r%", the formula for the doubling time "T" is given by Some doubling times calculated with this formula are shown in this table. Simple doubling time formula: For example, with an annual growth rate of 4.8% the doubling time is 14.78 years, and a doubling time
