A meeting of Cray users was held in
Melbourne, Australia, on 18 April
1996. This was the first meeting in the region since December 1994,
and was the first meeting to include attendees from southeast Asia.
The meeting was hosted by the Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology. Twenty-two people attended from eight Cray sites.
The day started with a session for systems administrators, which
was notable for its lack of concerns with Cray Research software
compared with earlier times. For most sites, storage management
has become the biggest issue.
The following talks were given:
- "CUG Barcelona Debrief"--Marek Michalewicz, Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
- "T3E Launch"--William White, Cray Research, Inc. (CRI)
- "Silicon Graphics/Cray Research Merger"--John Henderson, Cray
Research Australia
- "Ocean/Climate Modelling Activities at the Antarctic
CRC in Tasmania"--Joerg-Olaf Wolff
- "Cray Research Australia Report"--John Henderson, Cray
Research Australia
- "Establishing Computational Chemistry in the University
of Malaya"--Rauzah Hashim, Department of Chemistry,
University of Malaya
- "Data Migration Facility (DMF) Tutorial"--Robert Bell, CSIRO, and Peter
Edwards, Cray Research Australia
