Subject: Jan. 8, UofT, un-talk on "experience with Unix on Bell Labs's Cray"
	by Norman Wilson of Bell Labs CS Research
Message-ID: <1988Jan5.015037.3058@utstat.uucp>
Organization: Statistics, U. of Toronto
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 88 01:50:37 EST

I apologise for the short notice; I had erroneously assumed that
seminars were generally announced by the seminar hosts.  The only
announcement I have seen of this sort-of-seminar is in the paper minutes
of the 7 Dec 1987 meeting of the Supercomputer Users' Group at the U. of
Toronto:

"8. Date of the Next Meeting

     The next meeting will be held on Friday, 8 January 1988, at 2 p.m. in
the Board Room, Simcoe Hall.  Through the auspices of the Department of
Statistics, Dr. Wilson from AT&T Bell Labs will speak about his experience
with UNICOS on their Cray."

Norman does not have a prepared speech, but he is willing to talk
informally about his (and I believe Dennis Ritchie's) experiences with
Unicos (Cray's Unix) on Bell Labs's Cray XMP/24 (two processors, 4
megawords of main memory).  I think Norman's experiences will also be of
interest to people who don't use COS (Cray's original operating system)
and aren't currently members of the Supercomputer Users' Group.
