- The NERSC provides state-of-the-art computational, network,
- and file storage resources including four Cray
- supercomputers-a Cray XMP-22, a Cray-2 4/64, a Cray-2 4/128,
- and a Cray-2 8/128. All four Crays use the CTSS time-share
- operating system. This system also currently provides more
- than 150 UNIX utilities and is becoming POSIX compliant.
- The center operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a
- week.
-
- Archival storage includes an online fully automated storage
- system with 200 gigabytes of high-speed disk storage, and a
- magnetic tape cartridge system with a total of 3.6 terabytes
- of slower access storage. The slowest accesses are still
- under three minutes.
-
- An online information retrieval system is provided, offering
- more than 23,000 pages of documentation on use of the
- center. Printed hardcopy of all information is also avail-
- able to all users. The BUFFER is published as a monthly
- newsletter. Short notes in the form of printed summaries
- are available. Electronic bulletin boards are available for
- information about specialized topic areas. A NEWS capabil-
- ity is provided for daily or short-term information.
- Several consultants are available during normal working
- hours for individual help.

- The NERSC supports TCP/IP access and limited (interactive
- only) DECnet network access in addition to its own "NSP"
- protocol suite. Access is available through ESnet, the
- Internet, the Energy Sciences DECnet, Bitnet for electronic
- mail, TYMNET, and via dial-up modems.
-
- The NERSC also operates ESnet, a T1-based backbone network
- supporting both IP and DECnet.
