Hercules emulator allows you to run virtually any OS for S/390 and descendants, and there are pre-made images somewhere on the Net with turn-key IBM MVS installation. http://www.cray-cyber.org provides public supercomputer systems, from Cray, Control Data Corporation, NEC and Bull :) (guest account is down due to an attack where it was used -_- ) The OS'es there are: Cray: UNICOS(TM) - Unix based CDC 6600-compatibles: NOS or NOS/VE CDC 4680: EP/IX (UNIX based) NEC SX-4: Super-UX - Unix based NEC UP4800: UX4800 11.5 Pity is that only Cray Y-MP EL is 24/7, so you may have to talk with them to have access to others > If we manage to keep to the publisher's schedule and I survive the process, > it should see the light of day in time for fall semester 2007.
