Tamiko Thiel, artificial intelligence AI parallel supercomputer design **[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary The Connection Machine CM-1 t-shirt logo was designed in 1983 before the actual supercomputer, with the machine ultimately designed to match the shirt. The logo features a 12-dimensional 'cube of cubes' representing the hardware network connecting processor chips (suggested by Richard Feynman), and 'pom-poms' representing software data structures. The shirt gained fame when Apple featured physicist Richard Feynman wearing it in their 'Think different' campaign. The classic design uses a black shirt with yellow-gold geometric boxes for the hardware network and red pom-poms matching the machine's blinking processor status lights. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
