Hi, I'm not involved with Cray not I know exactly what it is, but I want
to know, if anyone can answer:

What is the Operating System currently installed on a modern Cray computer?

Have you looked at the name of the news group you selected?

Various. I am not an expert but from what I know e.g. on SV2 they have their
own version of Unix - UNICOS. On SV2 (X1) they run IRIX (or something close, it
is called UNICOS/MP). On some newer machines (XT3?) - Linux and maybe also some
other system. Additionally X1 actually contains some support microcomputers
with Linux and standard environment includes also some Linux and Solaris
machines.

The other system on XT3 is Catamount microkernel (running on compute nodes).
Linux is SuSE. See
http://www.cray.com/products/xt3/specifications.html
and google on...
