%X The Oxford Supercomputing Centre OSC was established in
   April 1998 to provide high\-performance computing services
   to a consortium of Oxford University research groups. The
   main computer resource, an 84\-processor SGI Cray Origin
   2000 known as Oscar, is being deployed in a wide variety of
   research studies covering biological, medical, chemical,
   mathematical, physical and engineering topics (including
   parallel computing itself). In this paper we shall
   describe the queueing and accounting mechanisms we have
   developed to facilitate effective use of this powerful
   resource. We shall also describe innovative work in progress
   to optimise the performance of this machine, using
   simulation and genetic algorithms.
