This is slightly before my time, but worldwide all F16 Weapon System Trainers (simulators for the F16 aircraft) were hosted on Norsk Data machines. They had a hardware shared memory that allowed more than 1 processor. This was 1970's / 1980's.
Replaced with SGI in the 1990's.
There were Norsk Data manuals laying around in the company until about 2000, because back then when you bought a computer they came with books.
I was told the Norsk was chosen due to political / work share issues, as at that time in the US SEL was the dominant real time mini computer vendor.
But, I was not there, so who knows..
