Anton (Computer)
I would say it's likely that the SV Anton was named after this.

I’ve always assumed it was a reference to Anton LaVey (seemed appropriate for Gilfoyle to name his server after the founder of the church of satan). It would be interesting to know which theory is correct.

Good point, and while SV does have a lot of obscure references, this one may be a
bit
too obscure. Happy coincidence perhaps.

Gilfoyle refers to himself as a LaVeyan satanist early on in the show.

Yeah, I was referring to the supercomputer as obscure.
