The S-1 project built a family of multiprocessor supercomputers. The project was envisioned by Lowell Wood at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab in 1975 and staffed for the first three years by two Stanford University Computer Science graduate students, Tom McWilliams and Curt Widdoes.
Although computers were built and run, the major lasting benefit of the S-1 project was the software tools that were built to support the design process. In this respect the S-1 project was similar to the Super Foonly project.
