D.E.C. MICROVAX II MINICOMPUTER SYSTEM

国际流行病学和预防中心 约翰斯威尔默眼科研究所的眼科 霍普金斯医学院是一个专注于 预防失明的研究和方案活动 从公共卫生的角度来看。一项大型流行病学研究 该项目正在进行青光眼、白内障、沙眼、 斜视和弱视，盘尾丝虫病和干眼症。 中心工作人员包括11名具有眼科专业知识的教职员工， 流行病学、生物统计学、免疫学和计算机科学。 支持这种研究和研究所需的计算资源 培训计划是密集的。随着中心的发展， 适当的计算机资源的可获得性变得更加紧张 和更紧密，而不是直接满足中心的所有需求。 10项主要研究的数据管理和分析活动 项目会使当前资源超载。专用迷你计算机 建议的系统将提供该中心的所有需求 为目前的项目以及适度增长留出空间。 所提出的系统是基于DEC MICROVAX，具有适当的 磁盘和磁带存储、打印设施和通信 设备。

The International Center for Epidemiologic and Preventive Ophthalmology of the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is a unique organization focused on research and program activities for the prevention of blindness from a public health perspective. A large epidemiologic research program is ongoing with studies of glaucoma, cataract, trachoma, strabismus and amblyopia, onchocerciasis and xerophthalmia. Center staff include 11 faculty with expertise in ophthalmology, epidemiology, biostatistics, immunology and computer science. The computing resources necessary to support such a research and training program are intensive. As the Center has grown, the availability of appropriate computer resources has become tighter and tighter and not directly served all the needs of the Center. Data management and analysis activities for 10 major research projects overload current resources. A dedicated mini computer system is proposed that will provide all the needs of the Center for the current projects as well as allow room for modest growth. The proposed system is based on a DEC microvax with appropriate disk and tape storage, printing facilities and communications equipment.
