The Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) has a long history
of participation in the forefront of computing technology.
At present, the BRL Super Computing Facility includes two
High Speed Processors: a Cray X-MP4/8 operating in unclassi-
fied mode and a Cray-2 operating in classified. Both sys-
tems utilize the UNICOS 6.1.12 operating system and imple-
ment Cray's Network Queing System (NQS) for batch processing
and Data Migration (DM) software.
The Cray X-MP/48 has four processors with an 8.5 nanosecond
clock rate, 8 Million 64-bit words of main memory, and a 128
Million 64-bit word Solid State Disk (SSD) available to all
through logical device caching and swap space. The clock
rate enables the machine to operate in the range of 250
MFLOPS. There are approximately 40 Gigabytes of on-line
mass storage, and interfaces to IBM 3480 and IBM 3420 mag-
netic tape devices. Available applications software
include: DISSPLA; DISSPOP; IMSL; MPGS; BRLCAD; PICSURE;
ABAQUS; LINDO; MSC/NASTRAN; MSC/DYNA; MSC/PISCES; and
LQGALPH. Available compilers include: CFT; CF77; Pascal; and
C. The Cray X-MP/48 is available 24 hours per day, 365 days
per year; however, it is not attended during evening or mid-
night shifts on weekends or holidays.
The Cray-2 has four processors operating with a 4.1
nanosecond clock rate. This machine has 256 Million 64-bit

words of main memory, and operates in the range of 500 Mil-
lion Floating Point Operations per Second (MFLOPS). There
are approximately 60 Gigabytes of on-line mass storage, and
an interface to IBM 3480 magnetic tape and to a MASSTOR M860
robotic tape device. Available applications software
include: DISPPLA; DISSPOP; IMSL; MPGS; BRLCAD; PICSURE; CAD-
PAC; and GAMESS. Available compilers include: CFT; CF77;
Pascal; SIMSCRIPT; and C. The Cray-2 is available and
attended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
The Cray X-MP is accessible via the Internet, and has dial-
up accessibility. The Cray-2 occupies a node on the Defense
Secure Network (DSNET), and has dial-up accessibility via
Secure Telephone Units (STU-III).
