CRAY SUPERSERVER SYSTEM INSTALLED AT UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO

EAGAN, Minn., April 21, 1994 -- The University of Tokyo has ordered
and installed a CRAY SUPERSERVER 6400 (CS6400) system, Cray
Research (NYSE:CYR) announced today.

The installed system, from subsidiary Cray Research Superservers
(CRS), Beaverton, Oregon, has 16 processors and one gigabyte (billion
bytes) of central memory.  It will be used for research in machine
design and control, computational fluid dynamics and molecular
dynamics, the company said.  Terms of the bid submitted by Canon
Sales Company, a CRS distributor in Japan, were not disclosed.

Bid criteria included the ability to run unmodified CAD (computer-
aided design) software developed on Sun systems; the ability to
meet future parallel processing needs; and high-speed scalar
processing ability, CRS said.

The new CS6400 system, available with 4 to 64 SuperSPARC
processors, is priced from under $400,000 in the U.S.  CRS recently
reported that the CS6400 system achieved record-setting
performance on SPECrate92 standard benchmarks run to date.

Cray Research provides the leading supercomputing tools and
services to help solve customers' most challenging problems.
