Tera Computer Company was a manufacturer of high-performance computing software and hardware, founded in 1987 in Seattle, Washington by James Rottsolk and Burton Smith. The company's first supercomputer product, named MTA, featured interleaved multi-threading, i.e. a barrel processor. Although it was not a commercial success, the company was a pioneer in multi-threading technology.

Upon acquiring the Cray Research division of Silicon Graphics in 2000, the company was renamed to Cray Inc.
