Abstract :
The issues facing Cray Research as a supercomputer vendor resulting from the availability of high-speed networks (100 MB/s) connected to high-capacity storage devices (>1 TB) are discussed. Current capabilities in the area of storage management in the UNICOS operating system are reviewed. Operational requirements stemming from the changing environment along with functional extensions to the UNICOS operating system are discussed.<>
