During the past five years I have had the good fortune to be able to work on two of the world's fastest computers, the Cray-1 (at the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts) and the Cyber 205 (at the UK Meteorological Office). A comparison between the two machines is clearly of interest not only to potential users but also to a more general audience. In this article I will point out some of the differences between the two machines, and the impact these differences have on the way in which certain problems should be formulated and programmed.
