This proposal requests support from the BRS Shared Instrumentation Grant (GIG) Program for a computer system and associated software to develop a distributed network for the computational needs of a number of molecular biologists on the two campuses of the University of Southern California (University Park and Health Sciences, seven miles apart in metropolitan Los Angeles). The configuration of the proposed Campus link In Molecular Biology network (cliMB) will take advantage of the newly supported Ethernet installations at the two venues and the high width microwave link that will connect them. The equipment will consist of 2 SUN 3/280 file servers with data storage disks linked to the Ethernets on each campus with SUN 3/50 or 3\60 workstations as distributed nodes in each participating laboratory. Additional equipment will include DNA sequence digitizing input devices, printers and plotters. The tow campuses will be connected by a line-of-sight high band width microwave link. The computer network and related software will provide computational resources and assistance to the users and will support data acquisition, data analysis, data-base management and access, and word-processing and graphics activities of their grant-supported research. A unique feature of the network will be the ready availability of new software developed and supported by the Mathematical Biology group (M. Waterman). An important aspect of the system is its potential to link the scientists at the two campuses and foster communications, sharing of data, and collaboration. In addition, the system will become a BIONET satellite, and link the USC scientists as a group to more than 3000 molecular biologists on the DRR sponsored BIONET computer. University services include remote daily and weekly scheduled tape backup and restoration services as will as central equipment maintenance services.

该提案请求BRS共享工具的支持 用于计算机系统和相关软件的授予（GIG）程序 开发一个分布式网络来满足一个的计算需求 两个校园的分子生物学家数量 南加州大学（大学公园与健康 科学，洛杉矶大都会相距七英里）。 这 分子生物学中提议的校园链接的配置 网络（攀登）将利用新支持的以太网 在两个场所和高宽度微波链路上安装 那将连接它们。 设备将由2个太阳3/280组成 带有数据存储磁盘的文件服务器链接到以太网 每个校园都有3/50或3 \ 60的工作站作为分布式节点 在每个参与实验室中。 其他设备将 包括DNA序列数字化输入设备，打印机和 绘图仪。 拖车校园将通过视线连接 高带宽度微波链路。 计算机网络及相关 软件将为计算资源和帮助 用户并将支持数据获取，数据分析，数据库 管理和访问以及文字处理和图形活动 他们由赠款支持的研究。 网络的独特功能 将是开发新软件的现成可用性，并且 由数学生物学小组（M. Waterman）支持。 一个 系统的重要方面是它的潜力将 两个校园的科学家和寄养通讯，共享 数据和协作。 此外，系统将成为 双子卫星，并将USC科学家作为一个小组链接到更多 DRR赞助的Bionet上的3000名分子生物学家 电脑。 大学服务包括远程每日和每周 预定的胶带备份和修复服务以及中央 设备维护服务。
