CRAY RECEIVES FIRST ORDER FROM MOROCCO

EAGAN, Minn., July 24, 1995 -- Cray Research, Inc. (NYSE:CYR)
announced today that it has received an order from the
Meteorological Office of the Kingdom of Morocco for two Cray
Research systems, marking Cray's first order in Morocco.   The
systems -- a CRAY J916 compact supercomputer and a CS6400
database server -- are slated for installation later this year in
Casablanca, Cray officials said.  Terms were not disclosed. 

The CRAY J916 supercomputer will be used to run numerical
weather prediction using the Aladin limited area model
developed at Meteo-France, Toulouse, France.  This weather
model incorporates global weather data to generate a local
weather forecast for Morocco. 
   
The CS6400 database server will run Oracle7 database
management software and will house and manage the weather-
related data for this application. 

Earlier today Cray announced a multiple-system order from
German Research Center, KFA.
