Research on High Density Job Processing System based on Virtual Work Stations

本研究课题的目标是：A.虚拟工作站(VWS，以下简称VWS)需要/关键的功能是什么？b.如何实现高密度的作业处理，例如分布式协同处理，或者用VWS实现TAT处理的问题在哪里，目前使用的是超级计算机、大型机、图形处理WS、专用应用服务器，例如FORTRAN交叉编译器WS、NASTRAN预处理WS、电子邮件服务器WS，以及新引入的高度并行处理器，首先，我们设计了名为NewUser的用户注册系统，该系统后来作为超级计算机折弯机的产品在我中心销售，并于1994年10月在我们的系统上进行了测试，取得了很大的成功。1)X-终端控制器(机器NICHNAME为x-Controle1.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp)：控制东京大学(CCUT，下称)计算机中心X-终端的WS；2)NASTRAN前置处理器(机器昵称为nstran-pre.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp)：结构分析应用程序应用服务器WS，NASTRAN，CCUT前置应用程序；3)ALFA-FLOW前端处理器(机器昵称为alfaflow.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp)：流体力学分析应用程序应用服务器WS，ALFA FLOW，ALFA FLOWCCUT的前端应用4)输入输出控制处理器(机器昵称为io-Controler.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp)：输入输出服务WS，提供从8 mm磁带、DAT和QIC输入数据，输出到激光打印机的数据，包括黑白和彩色。

Targets for this research topic are ; a.What kind of features are needed/crucial for the Virtual Work Station (VWS,hereinafter), b. How to realize high density job processing, e.g.distributed collaborative processing, or where is the problem for realizing tat processing with VWSs, currently using super computer, main frame machine, graphics processing WS,dedicated application server, e.g.FORTRAN cross compiler WSs, NASTRAN preprocessing WSs, e-mail server WS,and newly introduced highly parallel processor, etc.First thing we did for the project was disigning the user registration system called newuser which later was soled as the product of super computer bender at our center and tested with our system since October 1994 and it was very successful.Then we realized high density job processing system with ;1) X-terminal controller (machine nichname is x-controlle1.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp) : WS for controlling X-terminals at the computer center, University of Tokyo (CCUT,herein after)2) NASTRAN pre-post processor (machin nickname is nastran-pre.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp) : WS for application server of structure analysis spplication, NASTRAN,pre-post application at CCUT.3) alfa-flow front end processor (machine nickname is alfaflow.cc.u -tokyo.ac.jp) : WS for application server of fluid dynamics analysis application, alfa flow, front end application at CCUT.4) Input output control processor (machine nickname is io-controller.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp) : Input and output service WS which provides the facility of data input from magnetic tape of 8mm, DAT and QIC,data output to laser beam printers including B/W and color.
