ALL WE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS WAS ANOTHER CRAY-1

Not quite down the chimney, NCAR gets anotherCRAY-I for Christmas. (Photo by Robert Bumpas.)

On 20 December a small group of staff membersclustered on the Damon Room balcony to observe thedelivery of NCAR's second CRAY-1 computer. Thegroup held their breath as the crane tipped whenlifting the five-ton computer from the moving van.According to one onlooker, the rear of the cranerose a good two feet off the ground as it hoistedthe CRAY-i's central processing unit. But thecrane held its ground and safely lowered the com-puter into the air-intake tunnel of the ScientificComputing Division (SCD).

"It was one of the smoothest moves we've everhad with a computer," said Robert Niffenegger (SCDmanager of Operations). "The only problem was thatthe side road next to the High Altitude Observatory

[HAD] addition was barely wide enough to accom-modate the moving van. We spent some time fillingin and grading the road," Bob said, "and as the vanmade the turn we all took some deep breaths, andhoped it wouldn't topple over into HAO's sunkentelescope area. Thanks to the capable van driver,all went well, and there were about five or sixinches of clearance. Before situating the secondCRAY-1, we had to cut a lot of new holes in thefloor for the mechanical and power connections,andto add an extra 24 steel pedestals beneath thefloor for support," said Bob. The new CRAY-1 nowrests securely in the first basement of the MesaLaboratory next to the old one.

The new CRAY-1 is actually a used one--it be-longed formerly to the Lawrence Livermore NationalLaboratory in California. It has, however, beencompletely refurbished at CRAY headquarters inChippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and has newrefrigeration-condensor and motor-generator units.(Although plugged in directly to the Public Servicepower, the CRAY-1 uses additional motor generatorsto convert the 60 Hz of Public Service power to therequired 400 Hz. SCD will eventually have an unin-terruptable power-supply system provided by a newstorage battery unit. The batteries will supply 15minutes of additional power to the IBM 4341 and thecommunications systems for a controlled shutdownshould the Public Service power stop. This extrapower provides enough time to alert users to logoff gracefully and save their work before thesystem goes down.)

Except for its more subtle colors--sun gold andcaramel--the new CRAY-1 is identical to the oldone, with the same disk and memory capacity andspeed. "We purchased the second CRAY-1 because wesimply couldn't satisfy the demands of the userswith the one we had," said SCD director WalterMacintyre. "We were turning people away, and someusers were having difficulty completing their pro-grams--we had reached an impossible load. This isan interim, short-term solution to our load prob-lem," continued Walter. "We are asking for a nextgeneration machine to be supplied sometime in thenext two or three years. This future machine willhave ten times the capacity of a CRAY-1."

2/Staff Notes/14 January 1983

SCD has had to do a lot of rearranging to ac-commodate the second CRAY-1 and its 16 disk drives,and will be busy for the next several months withrewiring and software production. The secondCRAY-1 should be operational by the end of April.

The National Science Foundation officially approvedthe additional CRAY-1 purchase shortly afterChristmas, insuring a happier New Year for SCD andits computer users. oRG

FOUR SCIENTISTS HONORED BY AMS

Four scientists from NCAR's Atmospheric Analy-sis and Prediction Division received awards fromthe American Meteorological Society (AMS) duringits annual meeting in New Orleans this week.

Former NCAR director Francis Brethertonreceived the Jule G. Charney Award, which wasestablished to recognize significant research ordevelopment achievement in the atmospheric andhydrospheric sciences.

The society's Clarence Leroy Melsinger Award,for development of numerical models that have con-tributed significantly to the understanding of

severe convective storms, was shared by JosephKlemp and Robert Wilhelmson (University of Illinoisat Urbana).

Roland Madden received the Editor's Award forhis "critical and Insightful reviews of manuscriptssubmitted to Monthly Weather Review" and other AMSpublications.

The Charles Franklin Brooks Award was given toChester Newton for his "wise leadership as AMSpresident and his long record of devoted service tothe society as editor of its journals and member ofits committees." oSB

MIXED-UP POLES

After the NCAR Ski Club trip from Vail lastTuesday evening, a mix-up in equipment was dis-covered. If you have an extra pole (black handlewith blue snow basket), or if you have a pair ofpoles that is not yours, please call CharlieSemmer, ext. 277.

LOOKING FOR PCBS

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) isresponsible for enforcing those sections of theToxic Substances Control act that regulate themanufacture, use, storaqe, and disposal of poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCB). The EPA recuires usto know where all quantities of this material arelocated within NCAR. PCBs are used inheat-transfer systems, hydraulic systems, electro-magnets, dielectric transformers, and capacitors.PCB is also used in microscopy as a mounting mediumand may be found in small quantities in researchlaboratories. Trade names for PCBs include:Arochlor, Askarel, Pydraul, Therminol, Pyroclor,Santotherm Pyralene, Pyranol, Inerteen, Asbestol,Chlorextol, Diachlor, Dykanol, Elemex, Hyvol,

No-flamol, Saf-T-Kuhl, Arochlor B, Clorinol,Clorohen, and Eucarel.

If you are aware or suspect the presence of anyPCB material, please contact Blair Smallwood,ext. 545.
