            The CHPC provides access to a  CRAY X-MP/24, currently  run-
            ning  the COS 1.16 operating system.  Pre- and post-job pro-
            cessing, including access service for  interactive  jobs  is
            provided  by  a  VAX  8600, currently running VMS 5.1.  File
            service is provided by an IBM 4381, currently running MVS/XA
            2.2.0 and DFHSM.

                 In October of  1988,  a  second  CRAY,  the  CRAY  X-MP
            EA/14se  was installed with the UNICOS 4.0 operating system,
            to provide users with a migration vehicle to  UNIX.   Simul-
            taneously, a CONVEX C120 was installed to provide UNIX-based
            access service to both the new CRAY  X-MP  EA/14se  and  the
            earlier-installed CRAY X-MP/24.  The IBM 4381 currently pro-
            vides file service for the UNICOS CRAY  that  now  runs  the
            UNICOS  5.0  operating system.  VMS-based access service for
            the UNICOS CRAY is provided by the VAX 8600.

                 The UT System Board of Regents  has  approved  a  major
            expansion  of  the  CHPC facility, possibly to begin in Sep-
            tember of 1990.

            The VAX 8600 and CONVEX C120 are on the  Internet  as  hosts
            chpc.utexas.edu and mermes.chpc.utexas.edu respectively.
