CRAY INSTALLS FIRST SUPERCOMPUTER IN COLOMBIA

EAGAN, Minn., Oct. 19, 1995 -- The University of Los Andes, Santafe de
Bogota, Colombia, ordered and installed a CRAY(R) J916 supercomputer at
Colombia's new national supercomputing center in the third quarter, marking
the first Cray supercomputer in that country. Terms were not disclosed.

Last week the University of Los Andes dedicated the new national
supercomputing center for Colombia, naming it the MOX Center for Advanced
Computing in Engineering. The center's computer, software and human
resources will be made available to Colombia's academic, consultant and
corporate sectors, according to a University of Los Andes School of
Engineering news release issued earlier this week. University officials said
the new center will help solve Colombia's computational problems in the
areas of advanced product design and manufacturing; complex phenomena such
as earthquakes and weather prediction; and financial calculations under
uncertain scenarios. Data warehousing will also be a target application at
the new MOX center.

According to university officials, up to 25 percent of the center's
computational power will be shared with other Colombian academic
institutions.
