View, CA Lines: 15 Xref: watmath net.arch:1895 net.unix:5870 I had call to go visit the Cray-2 downstairs. It's tiny. It's overwhelmed by the disk drives which surround the thing. The foot-print (C) takes up the space of 1 large disk drive. We have a beautiful blue and metal finish with clear windows showing the fluorinert. The console is an AT&T PC 6300. I've run two programs thus far for testing memory contention, but this was on the LLNL 1 quad C-2. Back to processing my travel forms..... I don't think I offended any one by saying this.
