               NEW APPLICATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE FOR
           DIGITAL EQUIPMENT MASSIVELY PARALLEL COMPUTERS


MAYNARD, Mass. -- August 17, 1992 -- Application programs from three
independent software developers have been ported to run on massively 
parallel computers systems from Digital Equipment Corporation.  The 
new applications add to previously announced computing solutions in 
statistical analysis, molecular biology and other applications that 
now run on Digital's DECmpp 12000 Series computer systems.
    The new applications are available directly from their 
developers.  They are:

    oo	C-DYNA3D (from CONDAT GmbH) -- a three-dimensional finite 
       element analysis (FEA) program that can measure strength and 
       other behaviors of a variety of solids.  FEA programs are 
       widely used to determine allowable stress on steel products, 
       in automobiles, for instance, and other materials;

    oo	FIDAP (from Fluid Dynamics International) -- a finite element 
       analysis (FEA) program for measuring fluid dynamics used in a 
       range of industries, from biomedical and paper to food and 
       beverage and chemical.  Fluid-flow simulations can be applied 
       to air or water, to test airplane wings or ship hulls, for 
       instance, or to other fluids, from blood and molten glass to 
       ice cream and toothpaste;

    oo	SESTRA (from Veritas Sesam Systems) -- a structural analysis 
       program used in design and engineering of offshore and marine 
       structures.  SESTRA is the static linear structural analysis 
       module which is included in the range of Sesam Systems 
       packages.  These packages include: preprocessors for 
       modeling; hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis programs, 
       linear and non-linear, static and dynamic structural analysis 
       based on the finite element technique and; postprocessors for 
       results presentation and design calculations.  SESTRA is 
       optimized for the DECmpp, providing users with dramatic 
       improvements in computational performance;


                 MASSIVELY PARALLEL SYSTEMS MATURE
    "These and other applications for Digital massively parallel 
systems underscore the fact that the market is growing and 
attracting increasing levels of attention from third-party software 
developers," says Charles Wilson, director of Digital's Massively 
Parallel Systems Group.
    "Digital has anticipated this market growth and is committed to 
helping third-party software development through direct support of 
various porting initiatives and by developing and announcing 
increasingly sophisticated and easy to use software development 
tools."
    Other third-party applications for Digital's DECmpp 12000 Series 
massively parallel computers include:

    oo	RADIOSS -- crash-simulation software from MECALOG SARL;
    oo	SAS/TM ACCESS -- statistical analysis software from CHISQ, 
       Ltd.;
    oo	ELEXIR -- information retrieval software from Third Eye 
       Software;
    oo	BLAZE -- molecular biology software from IntelliGenetics, 
       Inc.

    All third-party applications ported to Digital's DECmpp 12000 
Series massively parallel systems are also available for the MP-1 
family of massively parallel systems from MasPar Computer 
Corporation.
    Digital Equipment Corporation, headquartered in Maynard, 
Massachusetts, is the leading worldwide supplier of networked 
computer systems, software and services.  Digital pioneered and 
leads the industry in interactive, distributed and multivendor 
computing. Digital and its partners deliver the power to use the 
best integrated solutions - from desktop to data center - in open 
information environments.
