Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

We haven't done actual timings on them, but Sun and SGI times don't seem to have changed for us (and were small to begin with). Cray vector times, however, are _way_ down -- by better than a factor of 10. Fwiw, we do air quality modeling, using Crays for modeling, and SGIs and Suns for analysis and visualization. xcc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carlie J.
