NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE GETS THIRD CRAY SUPERCOMPUTER

SINGAPORE, Sept. 28, 1995 -- Cray Research, Inc. announced today
that the National University of Singapore will officially receive its
third Cray supercomputer this Saturday at the university's 90th
anniversary celebrations held here.  Cray and university officials
plan to dedicate a CRAY EL98 system to the university's Center for
Computational Mechanics (CCM) at the event.   Terms of the
acquisition were not disclosed.

Earlier this month, Cray announced that the National Supercomputing
Research Centre, affiliated with the university, had ordered and will
install a CRAY T94 supercomputer later this year.   And in June of
this year, the National University of Singapore installed a CRAY J916
supercomputer at its Computer Centre to be used as a university-
wide simulation server for scientific and engineering applications. 
With the installation of the CRAY T94 system later this year, NSRC
will be the forerunner of supercomputing in South East Asia.

"We are dedicated to driving the use of supercomputers in industrial
applications," said Associate Professor Lam Khin Yong, director of
the Centre for Computational Mechanics.  "We see our recent
acquisitions of industry-leading Cray supercomputers -- specifically
the CRAY EL98 dedicated to the CCM -- as a key step in our industrial
programs.  This will enable our Centre to show to industry and
educate companies on the true value of simulation -- improving
time-to-market, quality and safety for a wide variety of products."

The CRAY EL98 system will be dedicated to the field of
computational mechanics and be used for simulations of fluid
dynamics, fluid flows, finite element analysis, and advanced
material technology, which are supercomputer applications used
extensively in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, and electronics
industries among others.  Cray has played a significant role in
moving these applications onto supercomputers for industry and has
sold hundreds of Cray systems for these uses.

"We are honored and pleased to participate in the 90th anniversary
celebration and to dedicate the CRAY EL98 system to the Centre's
important role to increase industry's use of high-performance
computing throughout Singapore and South East Asia," said Raj
Godhia, Cray's regional manager for South East Asia.   "We very much
look forward to other universities, polytechnics, institutes, and
industry in the region following Singapore's leadership."

Cray Research provides the leading high-performance computing
tools and services to help solve customers' most challenging
problems.
