            The Office of Academic Computing  (OAC)  provides  mainframe
            and  supercomputer  services  through its computing services
            group, microcomputer support services through its  Microcom-
            puter  Support  Office, and campus backbone network services
            through its Campus Network Services.  OAC  operates  an  IBM
            3090-600S  supercomputer with six vector facilities, running
            under MVS/ESA and VM/XA-SP, to provide computing services in
            support of UCLA's instructional and research activities.

            OAC provides access to a wide variety  of  software  facili-
            ties,  including  mathematical  and engineering applications
            (ESSL, IMSL, ACRITH, EISPACK  FUNPACK,  LINDO,  MPS360,  and
            SPEAKEASY),  computational  chemistry  (Gaussian 88, GAMESS,
            HONDO 7, MOPAC, and BATCHMIN), fluid dynamics analysis (AMES
            PNS,  FLUENT/BFC,  NS57,  ROTOR2,  TAIR and VSAERO), seismic
            analysis  (MODMIG,  PREMIG,  and  STARPAK),  and  structural
            analysis (ADINA, ASTROS, CSA/NASTRAN, NIKE2D, MAZE, and SAM-
            CEF).

            For development of numerically intensive  applications,  the
            VS  FORTRAN and Parallel FORTRAN (PF) compilers provide vec-
            torization and parallel  programming,  respectively.   Other
            compilers  provided  by  OAC include C, PASCAL, PL/I, COBOL,
            APL, ALGOL, IBM Assembler, and Waterloo BASIC.

            Other areas of interest include graphics software  (Interac-
            tive Chart Utility, SAS/GRAPH, GDDM, DISSPLA, SPEAKEZ Graph-
            ics,  GKS),  and  text  processing   (SCRIPT/VS).    Popular
            software  products such as TSO and ISPF/PDF, and statistical
            packages (SAS, SPSSx, and BMDP) are also available,  as  are
            electronic  mail  and  access  to  ORION (the UCLA Library's
            online information system).

            Computing services are provided to the UCLA community, other
            educational  institutions,  and  state  and federally funded
            projects.  Accounts are available to other outside users  on
            a  case-by-case  basis.   Open-access computing accounts are
            available free to UCLA students and faculty to access  ORION
            and  electronic mail.  For further information, call the OAC
