This looks very much like a Connection Machine. A red LED would light up when its corresponding processor was active.

- teddyh 2y agoNo, IIRC, on a Connection Machine, a light blinks when the corresponding CPU is active. A LED which is on or off means the CPU is idle. I am personally quite convinced that they chose to do it this way because the way you describe it – the obvious way – did not look cool enough.
