Access to SURAnet for Howard University

霍华德大学有几位研究人员， 使用超级计算机和其他研究人员 连接到NSFNET。 校园将与高 高速线路（每秒150万比特）到SURAnet，一个中级 网络，提供连接到国家科学 基金会网络，NSFNET，也通过高速通信 线 电力部门提交的提案 工程和系统与计算机科学也有支持 大学计算服务（UCS）。 这些群体 共同致力于未来发展的高能力 大学，网络。 对高速计算机连接的需求 最初的重点是提供适合 访问超级计算机，以满足当前和未来的需求， 大学研究人员。 请求提供通信支助 设备、通信线路和SURAnet的部分付款 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.
