Abstract
The CONVEX C220 and C240 supercomputers, a family of 64-bit multiprocessors tightly coupled through a shared main memory, are discussed. The structure of the C2 family and of the C1 family that preceded it is described. The product definition process and the technology selection are examined. The way in which the project was organized and staffed, the tools used, and some of the significant crisis points during the program execution are discussed
