Cray instability
A shortcoming of a program or algorithm that manifests
itself only when a large problem is being run on a powerful
machine such as a Cray. Generally more subtle than bugs
that can be detected in smaller problems running on a
workstation or minicomputer.

crayon
1. Someone who works on Cray supercomputers. More
specifically, it implies a programmer, probably of the CDC
ilk, probably male, and almost certainly wearing a tie
(irrespective of gender). Systems types who have a Unix
background tend not to be described as crayons.
2. A computron that participates only in number crunching.
3. A unit of computational power equal to that of a single
Cray-1. There is a standard joke about this usage that
derives from an old Crayola crayon promotional gimmick: When
you buy 64 crayons you get a free sharpener.
