- 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.

- 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).
