The background and current status of the CRAY-1 computer at LASL are reviewed. The characteristics of the CRAY-1 are summarized. Evaluation of the computer under carefully controlled conditions showed it to have performance and reliability characteristics that were well matched to the needs of LASL. Software development, networking, and code conversion have proceeded to where the CRAY-1 is now in early production status. It is expected that the CRAY-1, with enlarged memory and upgraded disk configuration, will become the most powerful worker computer at LASL. 2 figures, 3 tables. (RWR)
