\subsection*{Local Computer Facilities}

NPAC has a substantial computer infrastructure, including networked
workstations, Mac and PC equipment, and various parallel computers.
Parallel and distributed platforms include a 12-node IBM SP2, an
8-node DEC Alphafarm interconnected with
a Gigaswitch, an 8-node Sun UltraSPARC cluster which will be
interconnected with an ATM network shortly. These clusters are shared
by all NPAC users, but available in dedicated parallel mode on a
reservation basis. An 8-CPU SGI machine with R10000 processors is
also available, providing a shared-memory parallel platform for
testing purposes.

NPAC has a system support group which handles day to day operation
and maintenance of the computer facilities.

\subsection*{Major equipment}

The computer systems described above constitute the major
equipment for this effort.
