== Releases == Cray released several different OSs under the name UNICOS, including: #''UNICOS'': the original Cray Unix, based on System V. Used on the [[Cray-1]], [[Cray-2]], [[Cray X-MP|X-MP]], [[Cray Y-MP|Y-MP]], [[Cray C90|C90]], etc. #''UNICOS MAX'': a [[Mach kernel|Mach]]-based [[microkernel]] used on the [[Cray T3D|T3D]]'s processing elements, together with UNICOS on the host Y-MP or C90 system. #''UNICOS/mk'': a ''serverized'' version of UNICOS using the [[ChorusOS|Chorus]] [[microkernel]] to make a [[distributed operating system]]. Used on the [[Cray T3E|T3E]]. This was the last Cray OS really based on UNICOS sources, as the following products were based on different sources and simply used the "UNICOS" name. #''UNICOS/mp'': not derived from UNICOS, but based on [[IRIX]] 6.5. Used on the [[Cray X1|X1]]. #''UNICOS/lc'': not derived from UNICOS, but based on [[SUSE Linux]]. Used on the [[Cray XT3|XT3]], [[Cray XT4|XT4]] and [[Cray XT5|XT5]].
