            Our mission at AFSCC-K is to support and promote the use  of
            supercomputing  throughout  the  Air  Force. To this end, we
            will provide the most modern  supercomputers  and  auxiliary
            computing  equipment  to  our  users,  wherever they may be.
            Access to our computers is available either locally at Kirt-
            land  AFB or remotely, through high-speed data communication
            networks. In addition, we will provide training in supercom-
            puting  to users and potential users both at Kirtland and at
            remote sites.

            Facilities at AFSCC-K include the following systems:

                 o+    Cray-2: 4 CPUS, each capable of  488  Mflops  peak
                      speed, 256 MW common memory, 24.4 GB of local disk
                      space,  CTSS operating system with UNIX  utilities
                      running under CTSS.

                 o+    Cray-1/S: 1 CPU capable of 160 Mflops peak  speed,
                      4 MW memory, 4.8 GB local disk space, CTSS operat-
                      ing system

                 o+    Common File System (CFS): Controlled by  dedicated
                      IBM  4381  computers,  it  offers 120 GB of online
