Archivo:CDC 6600.jc.jpg The CDC 6600. Behind the system console are two of the "arms" of the plus-sign shaped cabinet with the covers opened. Individual modules can be seen inside. The racks holding the modules are hinged to give access to the racks behind them. Each arm of the machine had up to four such racks. On the right is the cooling system.

The CDC 6600 was a mainframe computer from Control Data Corporation, first (first in the United States) delivered in 1964 to the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, part of the University of California at Berkeley. It was used primarily for high energy nuclear physics research, particularly for the analysis of nuclear events photographed inside the Alvarez bubble chamber. The very first CDC 6600 was delivered about one year earlier to Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland also for use in high energy nuclear physics research.
