#unicos — Public Fediverse posts

Holy crap! It's got #Unicos too! I shall resurrect my project from 1999 to get #bzip2 to support #Cray!

(the bug is that bzip2 insists (insisted?) that `short` be 16 bits)

Cray: оживление легенды

В ИТ-индустрии существуют вещи, само существование которых давно стало красивым мифом, о котором принято вспоминать лишь шепотом и закатывая глаза от благоговения.

From time to time I need to lookup some rarely used vi commands. Good to have a vi reference card laying around at my desk 😀 #vintagecomputing #cray #vi #unicos

Perl on a Cray Y-MP EL

Compiling Perl on a Cray is not an easy task, if you only have a few hours every Tuesday. And taking a Cray home, even the little Y-MP EL, is not an option. Neither is letting it run unattended.

The frustrating part is the wait. Unicos does not even have a 'top' command, so ps -efa is your best friend
