The current level of computing resources available to PHS-supported biomedical investigators at the University of Texas at Dallas, Callier Center is ionadequate. This inadequacy is due to increases in both the utiliaztion of and sophistication of laboratory computing. Presently, at Callier five DEC 11/23 and 11/73 laboratory machines and one Micro-Vax Workstation are utilizing the resources of a single PDP 11/44 (RSTS/E Opr. Sys.) which is also dedicated to word processing, accounting, and general computing for the enitre Center. The laboratory machines are connected to the 11/44 via 9600 baud serial lines which are much too slow to transfer the large quantities of data generated in the labs, and job size limitations of RSTS/E prohibit array sizes suitable for many scientific applications. An additional six IBM PC workstations involved in various research projects need network support and more are planned. Finally, scientific application software for the PDP-11 is quite sparse relative to the VAX, and the situation will probably get worse. The funds requested in the proposal are to add a DEC Micro-Vax II system suitably configured to provcide relevant scientific computing to the above mentioned laboratory data-acquisition machines and to support a high speed networking scheme capable of transferring large amounts of data to and from the laboratory environment. The specific aim is to remove biomedical research computing from the 11/44 entirely. The Micro-Vax II is compatible with the existing computing environment and is sufficiently powerful to service existing needs while providing room for expansion. The proposed system represents the most cost effective solution found to avoid duplication of rexources; to satisfy data transfer, storage, and analysis requirements; and, to improve the quality of PHS-supported biomedical research at the Callier Center. Additional specific aims are: to provide data reduction through relevant statistical softwore; to provide data analysis with compatible graphics, and plotting hardware and software; to provide data-basing software for subject/patient profiling; and to relieve researchers of system management responsibilities by providing data and application management through backup/restore network procedures and host system management.

当前可用于PHS支持的计算资源级别 得克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的生物医学研究人员 来信中心是电离。 这种不足是由于增加 在实验室的实验和复杂化中 计算。 目前，在Callier五年12月11/23和11/73 实验室机器和一台微vax工作站正在利用 单个PDP 11/44的资源（rsts/eopr。Sys。）也是 专门用于文字处理，会计和一般计算 Enitre Center。 实验室机器连接到 11/44通过9600波特串行线太慢而不是 传输实验室中生成的大量数据，并转移 RST/E禁止阵列大小的工作尺寸限制适用于 许多科学应用。 另外六个IBM PC 各种研究项目涉及的工作站需要网络 支持和更多计划。 最后，科学应用 PDP-11的软件相对于VAX非常稀疏，并且 情况可能会变得更糟。 提案中要求的资金是添加DEC Micro-Vax II 适当配置的系统可培养相关科学 计算上述实验室数据收购 机器并支持能够 传输大量往返实验室的数据 环境。 具体目的是消除生物医学研究 完全从11/44计算。 Micro-Vax II兼容 在现有的计算环境中，足够 为现有需求提供强大的服务，同时为 扩张。 提出的系统代表最具成本效益 发现的解决方案是为了避免重复重复；满足数据 转移，存储和分析要求；而且，改善 Callier中心的PHS支持生物医学研究质量。 其他具体目的是：通过 相关的统计软件；提供数据分析 兼容图形，并绘制硬件和软件；提供 用于受试者/患者分析的数据播放软件；并解救 系统管理职责的研究人员通过提供数据 和通过备份/还原网络的应用程序管理 程序和主机系统管理。
