OUR BUSINESS
Cray Inc. designs, builds, sells and services high-performance computer
systems, sometimes referred to as supercomputers. Our executive offices are
located at Merrill Place, Suite 600, 411 First Avenue South, Seattle, WA
98104-2860, and our telephone number is (206) 701-2000.
SELLING SHAREHOLDER
On April 2, 2000, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to
Silicon Graphics, Inc., the selling shareholder, in connection with our
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Cray Research, a business unit
of Silicon Graphics. Our acquisition of Cray Research is described more fully in
our current report on Form 8-K for the event of April 2, 2000, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2000, and amendment no. 1
thereto on Form 8-K/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 16, 2000.
As of October 10, Silicon Graphics informed us that it had sold 860,000
shares pursuant to Rule 144 and that it held 140,000 shares of our common stock,
less than 1% of our issued and outstanding shares on such date. All of
the shares covered by this prospectus are being sold for the account of Silicon
Graphics. If all shares covered by this prospectus are sold, Silicon Graphics
will not hold any shares of our common stock. The shares covered by this
prospectus include only the shares of common stock issued to Silicon Graphics in
our acquisition of the Cray Research.

Silicon Graphics has not had any material relationship with us or any of
our affiliates within the past three years.
Because Silicon Graphics may wish to be legally permitted to sell its
shares at any time it considers appropriate, we have agreed with Silicon
Graphics to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the
Securities Act of 1933, a registration statement on Form S-3, of which this
prospectus forms a part, for the resale of the shares, and have agreed to
prepare and file amendments and supplements to the registration statement as may
be necessary to keep the registration statement effective until the shares are
no longer required to be registered for sale by Silicon Graphics.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Cray is registering the shares covered by this prospectus for Silicon
Graphics. Silicon Graphics or its pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest may sell the shares in the over-the-counter market or by
other means, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The shares may also be
sold by one or more of the following methods:
- a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;
- purchases by a broker or dealer, as principal, in a market maker
capacity or by other means and resale by the broker or dealer for
its account under the terms of the prospectus; or
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker
solicits purchases.
Cray will pay the costs and fees of registering the shares, but Silicon
Graphics will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses
relating to the sale of the shares. Cray and Silicon Graphics each have agreed
to indemnify the other against specified liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, that relate to statements or omissions
in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides that
during the period that any person is engaged in the distribution of our common
stock, the person engaged in the distribution generally may not purchase shares
of our common stock. Silicon Graphics is subject to applicable rules,
regulations and provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, including, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by Silicon Graphics and may
affect the marketability of our common stock.
Silicon Graphics may negotiate and pay brokers or dealers commissions,
discounts or concessions for their services. In making sales, brokers or dealers
engaged by Silicon Graphics may allow other brokers or dealers to participate.
However, Silicon Graphics and any brokers or dealers involved in the sale or
resale of the shares may qualify as underwriters within the meaning of the
section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. The brokers' or dealers'
commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters' compensation
under the Securities Act of 1933. If Silicon Graphics qualifies as an
underwriter,it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Silicon Graphics may also:
- agree to indemnify any broker or dealer or agent against certain
liabilities related to the selling of the shares, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933;
-4-
7
- transfer its shares in other ways not involving market makers or
established trading markets, including directly by gift,
distribution, or other transfer; or
- sell its shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 rather
than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the
requirements of Rule 144.
Upon notification by Silicon Graphics that any material arrangement
has been entered into with a broker or dealer for the sale of the shares through
a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution
or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this
prospectus, if required, by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933,
disclosing the material terms of the transaction.
LEGAL MATTERS
For purposes of this offering, Kenneth W. Johnson, Cray's general counsel,
is giving an opinion on the validity of the common shares. As of the date of
this prospectus, Mr. Johnson held 40,914 shares of Cray's common stock and

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Article XII of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Section 11 of the Company's Restated Bylaws require indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). Sections
23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Act authorize a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and
officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Section 23B.08.320 of the Act authorizes a corporation to limit a
director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving
intentional misconduct, self-dealing or illegal corporate loans or
distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally receives a
benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally
entitled. Article XI of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation
contains provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington
law, such limitations on a director's liability to the Company and its
shareholders.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered that remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question, whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
