Kalygma was a supercomputer developed by Lavis Facilities in 1992, not long after the death of co-founder, Jorma Janssen. It was the first major project undertaken by the company following Jorma's death, based on several of his concept prints, although R&D technically began in 1989, utilizing data following the completion of the project surrounding the Tivithius supercomputer. Until the creation of LUC (Luke) in 1997, Kalygma was the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It was never put on any sort of exhibition, so media coverage was practically non-existent. It essentially served little more purpose than to be reverse-engineered to pave the way for the next level of technology.

According to the primary Lavis Facilities public site: "In the year 1997, there were four internet websites devoted to the Kalygma supercomputer and anything about it; most was fabricated information. This was because Kalygma was not presented to the world as were other supercomputers of the time, such as those that became known for besting master chess players. Ironically, by the time these websites' domains were registered, Kalygma had already been superseded by LUC. "
