Hello,

Cray-Cyber.org is a non-profit organization which provides access to
historic supercomputers for free over the internet.
Furthermore we reconstruct a museal computer room by obtaining vintage
(super-)computers, putting them up and making them operational.

Meanwhile we have obtained a new piece of hardware. Although it is no
mainframe or real supercomputer it is an interesting architecture which
we also want to preserve and which we also want to take into operation
and make available for public logins.

We are talking about an SGI Origin 2000 with 2 nodes and a total of 16
CPUs and 16 GB of main memory. We are running IRIX 6.5.22 with the
MIPSpro C and C++ compilers (the licenses were graciously donated by
SGI).
