Following are two Senior Operating System Specialist job positions currently
available at The University of Texas System Center for High Performance Com-
puting (CHPC) located in northwest Austin, Texas. CHPC recently installed a
CRAY Y-MP8/864 with 512 megaword SSD and 57 gigabytes of mass storage, along
with a CONVEX C220 support minisupercomputer (512 megabytes central memory,
20 gigabytes mass storage). We are considering the development of network-
parallel software to use available cycles on a LAN/MAN/WAN of workstations.
We will purchase/install high-performance RISC servers this month to offload
scalar codes from our vector shared-memory supercomputers. We plan
to purchase/install massively-parallel MIMD and/or SIMD system(s) Spring '91.
