Kendall Square Research
Maker of the KSR1 shared-memory parallel computer (20 MHz custom processors; a 1992 NSF resource guide calls it a scalable parallel system with 1 GB of shared memory); the Cornell Theory Center ran one.

Why this page is short
Kendall Square Research is carried in the taxonomy because it supplies parts that belong in this graph, but no system in the current dataset records a component edge to it. That is a coverage gap rather than a judgement: the dataset is weighted toward compute, fabric and integration, which is what operators publish in detail.
Memory, storage, power, cooling and facility suppliers are systematically under-recorded in public system announcements: a spec string names the processor and the network and stops. Filling that in is the same coverage problem that blocks the power and cooling analysis, and it is why the public-market exposure page cannot see TSMC at all despite it being the most concentrated dependency in the entire graph.
If you have a sourced component edge for Kendall Square Research in a system on this site, that is exactly the contribution the dataset needs. See corrections.
