                 Time:          2:10 to 5:00 PM

                 Location:      Room 203, McLennan Laboratories

   The University of Toronto is in the final stages of  installing  a  Cray
X-MP/22  supercomputer. This achievement is the result of a long process of
study and negotiation about which many members of the University  community
would like to become better informed.

   This public seminar is intended to provide a broad,  but  comprehensive,
overview  of the Cray system and its significance to the Ontario university
community. The  presentation  will  be  divided  into  several  parts,  one
intended  for  a  general audience of potential users, the others for those
with a more technical interest in the X-MP.

   Everyone is welcome to attend. The tentative agenda follows.
