'Jurassic Park's' DNA sequencing was conducted on Cray computers.
New York (CNN Business)Cray has been synonymous with supercomputing for nearly half a century. Now the legendary tech company is joining the business that pioneered Silicon Valley: HP Enterprise.

HPE (HPE) announced it will buy Cray (CRAY) for $1.3 billion. Cray's stock shot up more than 17% Friday.

Cray briefly achieved pop-culture fame in the 1990s when author Michael Crichton wrote "Jurassic Park." In the 1990 novel, four Cray X-MP supercomputers powered the theme park's DNA sequencer that brought dinosaurs back to life. In the 1993 film, Jurassic Park's DNA sequencing lab was powered by Cray computers in the background.
