ICM<p>We're in the process or lighting up our Thinking Machines CM-2 which uses a Symbolics 3670 LISP Machine as its programming front end. The CM-1 was introduced 40 years ago in 1985 and the CM-2 in 1987. While this CM-2 is a single quadrant, we plan to simulate a full CM-2 and have its iconic "deep thought" lights running. Here you can see our lamp panels displaying a clock. This work was done by Jeff Kaylin. </p><p><a href="https://icm.museum" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">icm.museum</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a></p>
