The systems -- a CRAY J916 compact supercomputer and a CS6400 database server -- are slated for installation later this year in Casablanca, Cray officials said. Terms were not disclosed. The CRAY J916 supercomputer will be used to run numerical weather prediction using the Aladin limited area model developed at Meteo-France, Toulouse, France. This weather model incorporates global weather data to generate a local weather forecast for Morocco.
