Connection of Boston University to NSFNET

波士顿大学有几名研究人员，他们将从超级计算中受益。通过这笔连接到NSFnet的赠款，他们将能够访问由联邦资助的六个超级计算中心，这些中心由国家科学基金会网络(NSFnet)连接。该园区将通过一条中速(每秒56,000波特)的通信线路连接到JVNC网络，这是新英格兰对其现有联合体网络的延伸。这条通信线路以及网关/路由器将由约翰·冯·诺伊曼中心通过对其当前奖项的补充拨款提供。JVNC还将提供网络管理服务。

Boston University has several researchers who would benefit from access to supercomputing. Through this grant for connection to NSFNET, they will be able to access six federally-funded supercomputing centers which are linked by the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET). The campus will be connected by a medium speed (56,000 baud per second) communication line to the JVNC network as part of a New England extension to their already existing consortium network. This communication line as well as the gateway/router will be provided by the John von Neumann Center through a supplemental grant to their current award. Network management service will also be provided by JVNC.
