Editing NCUBE (section)

===Founding and early growth ===
nCUBE was founded in 1983 in [[Beaverton, Oregon]], by a group of [[Intel]] employees (Steve Colley, Bill Richardson, John Palmer, Doran Wilde, Dave Jurasek) frustrated by Intel's reluctance to enter the [[parallel computing]] market, though Intel released its [[Intel iPSC|iPSC/1]] in the same year as the first nCUBE was released. In December 1985, the first generation of nCUBE's hypercube machines were released. The second generation (N2) was launched in June 1989. The third generation (N3) was released in 1995. The fourth generation (N4) was released in 1999.

In 1988, [[Larry Ellison]] invested heavily in nCUBE and became the company's majority shareholder. The company's headquarters were relocated to [[Foster City, California]], to be closer to the [[Oracle Corporation]]. In 1994, [[Ronald Dilbeck]] became CEO and set nCUBE on a fast track to an [[initial public offering]].{{Citation needed|reason=needs clarification on where the information is taken from|date=March 2019}}
