            The NMFECC provides state of the art computational resources
            including three Cray Supercomputers - a Cray XMP-22, and two
            Cray-2s with 512 Mega-Bytes and 1 Giga-Byte of main  memory,
            respectively.   All  three  Crays  use  the  CTSS time-share
            Operating System. This system also currently  provides  over
            150  UNIX  utilities.   The  Center operates 24 hours a day,
            seven days a week.

            Archival storage includes an on-line  fully  automated  mag-
            netic  tape  cartridge  storage  system  with a total of 3.6
            Tera-bytes of capacity.

            An on-line information retrieval system is provided,  offer-
            ing over 23,000 pages of documentation on use of the Center.
            Printed hardcopy of all information is also available to all
            users.   The  BUFFER  is  published as a monthly newsletter.
            Short notes in the form of printed summaries are  available.
            Electronic  bulletin  boards  are  available for information
            about specialized topic areas.   A  ``NEWS''  capability  is
            provided  for daily or short term information.  Several con-
            sultants are also available during normal working hours  for
            individual help.

            protocol  suite.   Access  is  available  through ESnet, the
            Internet, the Energy Sciences DECnet, Bitnet for  electronic
            mail, TYMNET, and via dial-up modems.

            The NMFECC also operates ESnet, a ``T1'' based backbone net-
            work supporting both IP and DECnet.
