Thinking Machines Corporation
 Thinking Machines Corporation was a supercomputer manufacturer founded in Waltham Massachusetts in 1982 by W. Daniel Danny Hillis and Sheryl Handler to turn Hillis's doctoral work at MIT on massively parallel computing architectures into a commercial product called the Connection Machine. The company moved in 1984 from Waltham to Kendall Square in Cambridge Massachusetts close to the MIT AI Lab and Thinking Machines' competitor Kendall Square Research.
