The Cray EL90 series was an air-cooled vector processor supercomputer first sold by Cray Research in 1993. The EL90 series evolved from the Cray Y-MP EL minisupercomputer, and is compatible with Y-MP software, running the same UNICOS operating system. The range comprised three models:

The EL90 series Input/Output Subsystem (IOS) was based on the VMEbus and a Heurikon HK68 Motorola 68000-based processor board (or IOP). The IOP also provided the system's serial console. Extra cabinets could be added to house extra disks. Larger EL90 models consumed 6 kVa per cabinet and could be powered from regular machine room mains power.[ citation needed ]

The EL90 series was superseded by the Cray J90 series.
