Silicon Graphics has reported over 5 gigaflops for the MM5 climate model running on a 64-processor Origin2000. O verall, SCD is in good shape and well positioned to move ahead. For example, our ensemble of the C90 and the J90se gives us compute capability comparable to any other U.S. supercomputer center. The T3D and SPP give us highly parallel capability. Our MSS is the envy of most centers.
