Statistics of a parallel workload on a 128-node iPSC/860 located at NASA Ames are presented. It is shown that while the number of sequential jobs dominates the number of parallel jobs, most of the resources (measured in node-seconds) were consumed by parallel jobs. Moreover, most of the sequential jobs were for system administration. The average runtime of jobs grew with the number of nodes use...
