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.

PHS 支持的当前可用计算资源水平 德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的生物医学研究人员， 卡利尔中心是足够的。 这种不足是由于增加 在实验室的利用和复杂程度方面 计算。 目前，在 Callier 5 12 月 11 月 23 日和 11 月 73 日 实验室机器和一台 Micro-Vax 工作站正在利用 单个 PDP 11/44 (RSTS/E Opr. Sys.) 的资源，这也是 致力于文字处理、会计和通用计算 整个中心。 实验室机器连接到 11/44 通过 9600 波特串行线，速度太慢 传输实验室中生成的大量数据，以及 RSTS/E 的作业大小限制禁止数组大小适合 许多科学应用。 另外六台 IBM PC 参与各种研究项目的工作站需要网络 支持和更多计划正在计划中。 最后，科学应用 相对于 VAX，PDP-11 的软件相当稀疏，并且 情况可能会变得更糟。 提案中要求的资金是增加一台 DEC Micro-Vax II 系统经过适当配置，可提供相关的科学信息 对上述实验室数据采集的计算 机器并支持高速网络方案 与实验室之间传输大量数据 环境。 具体目标是取消生物医学研究 完全从11/44开始计算。 Micro-Vax II 兼容 与现有的计算环境足够 能够满足现有需求，同时提供空间 扩张。 所提出的系统代表了最具成本效益的 找到避免资源重复的解决方案；满足数据 传输、存储和分析要求；并且，为了改善 卡利尔中心 PHS 支持的生物医学研究的质量。 其他具体目标是：通过以下方式提供数据缩减： 相关统计软件；提供数据分析 兼容的图形、绘图硬件和软件；提供 用于受试者/患者分析的数据库软件；并缓解 研究人员通过提供数据来承担系统管理职责 通过备份/恢复网络进行应用程序管理 程序和主机系统管理。
