Well worth reading. Architectural details are not the main focus of the book; rather, it deals with Seymour Cray's work, but also with the technical reasons why some architectures were more successful than others, and how these machines were adopted and used at different customers. ISBN 979-8400713705. I bought it on Amazon.
