This is essentially correct.  UT has (up until '84 when I left anyway) two
CDC Cyber 170/750's (fastest number cruncher I've ever used with the second
worst OS I've ever used [the power of the '60s at your finger tips!]).  The
PDP-11 simulator, written in PASCAL I believe, was for the lower-div assembly
class.  Don't know what this has to do with C though.
