Access to SURAnet for Howard University

霍华德大学有几名研究人员将受益于访问超级计算机和连接到NSFnet的其他研究人员。园区将通过高速线路(150万比特每秒)连接到SURAnet，SURAnet是一个中级网络，也通过高速通信线路提供与国家科学基金网络(NSFnet)的连接。电气工程系和系统与计算机科学系提交的提案也得到了大学计算服务处的支持。这些小组正在为未来发展一个高容量的全大学网络而共同努力。对高速计算机链路的需求最初集中在为大学研究人员当前和未来的需求提供适合访问超级计算机的网络速度。请求支助通信设备、通信线路和部分支付SURAnet会员费。

Howard University has several researchers who would benefit from access to supercomputers and access to other researchers connected to the NSFNET. The campus will be connected with high speed lines (1.5 million bits per second) to SURAnet, a mid-level network which provides connectivity to the National Science Foundation Network, NSFNET, also through high speed communication lines. The proposal submitted by the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Systems and Computer Science also has the support of the University Computing Services (UCS). These groups are working together on the future development of a high capacity University.wide network. The need for high speed computer links is initially focussed on providing network speeds suitable for access to supercomputers for current and future demands of university researchers. Support is requested for communications equipment, communication lines, and partial defrayment of SURAnet membership fees.
