This talk will provide information as to what testing was done to ensure 2000 compliancy for UNCOS and UNICOS MAX and UNICOS/mk systems. It will cover the platforms tested and what testing was done. It will also cover products tested and open issues.

Cellular Irix is an evolution of Irix that incorporates features available in UNICOS and UNICOS/mk, including increased scalability and fault containment. Cellular Irix is a long-term vision, while at the same time pieces of its technology are being incorporated into Irix to solve today's real-world problems. This paper describes the architecture of Cellular Irix, the near-term Irix deliverables that incorporate its technology, and the status of the project.

MPI, Array Services, Miser, NQE, and Checkpoint/Restart are key components for IRIX system management. This paper will describe these components and the interactions among them.

SGI/Cray Message Passing Toolkit (MPT) and cluster software continues evolving to add both high availability and scalability functions. This paper briefly summarizes recent and planned changes with the MPT, IRIS FailSafe(TM), and IRISconsole(TM) products. The majority of the talk centers around MPI and SHMEM in MPT 1.2.1. In addition to review of new features, performance of MPI on Origin and SHMEM on Origin and CRAY T3E(TM) will be overviewed.

At Los Alamos National Laboratory we have been operating two 256 processor clusters of Origin 2000's for over a year, recently expanding to 1280 processors. The primary programming model is SGI/MPI, with job sizes ranging up to 512 processors and routinely spanning machines. DFS is used for primary local storage, with HPSS targeted for archival storage. Free access to the nodes is restricted, and use of the resources is managed by Load Sharing Facility (Platform Computing). We have been active in pushing ahead the latest releases of the operating system, and currently have early experiences with IRIX 6.5 to report. The purpose of this paper will be to share the challenges, trials, and successes in getting it all to work together.

This is an update of the plans and status for IRIX OS support of the high end systems. The primary focus will be the status of current system software releases and the plans for future releases and upgrades. The status and scalability of IRIX on more than 64 processors will be discussed.
Chuck Keagle
This paper will present an overview of the Data Center configuration and discuss the support structure and application mix for an Origin2000/Cray T916-512 Data Center with access to Storage Tek Tape Silos for Hierarchical Storage Management.
