Unless otherwise indicated, permission to reprint is freely granted, provided that the author, if named, and the Computing Services Office (CSO) are credited. In- formation in this issue is current as of January 15, 1985. Academic and research computing is done on the following machines: CDC Cyber 175 running NOS 1; CDC Cyber 174 running NOS 2; IBM 3081 running VM; IBM 4341 running VM; VAX 11/780 running UNIX and driving a GSI CAT-8 phototypesetter; three Pyramids a dn a Sequent running UNIX. In addition CSO serves as Facility Manager for various departmental machines (e.g., other IBMs) and for the National Center for Supercomputing Application's CRAY X/MP. Operating Hours (see HEARYE.SCHEDUL for exceptions): CYBERS 174/175 IBM M-F 8 am - 6 am 8 am - 6 am SAT 8 am - Midnight 8 am - 6 am SUN Noon - 6 am Noon - 6 am POLICY PLANNED UPDATES FOR SPRING 1986 In keeping with CSO's commitment to improve services to the user community, the following upgrades are planned for the Spring 1986 semester: • Due to increased demands on the SYTEK network (LocalNet), CSO plans to add more ports on both the IBM and the Cyber systems. We expect to have 16 additional SYTEK ports to the IBM 3081 (VMD) operational by the end of January. The Cyber systems will be provided with 24 additional ports by March, 1986. • The addition of these new SYTEK ports allows us to convert the Snack Bar (CRH) site to a SYTEK (LocalNet) site during the month of January. • Also during January, CSO plans to install four SYTEK- connected terminals and a laser printer at the Turner Hall site. • The Electrical Engineering (EE) site will be converted to SYTEK (LocalNet), probably in March. In addition, we will also be adding several new graphics terminals and a laser printer at EE. • The acquisition of 64K words Central Memory (CM) and 1 million words Extended Semicon- ductor Memory has allowed the following upgrades on the Cyber 174 and Cyber 175: The Cyber 175 (NOSA) now has 1 million words of Extended Semiconductor Memory (ESM). The Cyber 174 (NOSB) now has 256K words Central Memory (CM) and 512K words of Extended Core Memory (ECS). • A tape system will be added to the facilities at the UNIX site in the English Building during the Spring semester. • Software known as VMCENTER (from VM Software, Inc.) is currently being installed on the IBM 3081 (VMD) system. VMCENTER is a comprehensive, data center management system for the VM environment that provides control over all major aspects of VM data center service including: disk space management, tape management, system security, accounting and auditing, workload management, and operations. We believe the addition of this software will allow IBM users more latitude in controlling their own environment (e.g., changing their own passwords, etc.). Further news about this software will be published in future issues of OFF-LINE. NEW CSO TAPE POLICY Myra Williams Our tape storage facilities at DCL are filled and we now find it necessary to implement a new, stronger tape policy. In the past we have tried contacting owners of expired temporary tapes, or permanent tapes that have not been used in over a year; however, we have had very little success in getting these tapes picked up or removed from the building. We feel strongly that the information on these tapes is important and do not want any user to lose data. Our temporary tape storage is for a 30-day period only. After this 30-day period, we will send these temporary tapes back to the departments specified on the labels, via campus mail. If you do not want your tapes mailed to the department, please pick them up before the expiration limit of 30 days. We now have approximately 6000 tapes in our permanent tape storage and do not have room for many more. We are currently setting up a policy for the removal and return of permanent tapes that have not been used in over a year. When this policy is implemented, we would appreciate your cooperation in abiding by the new procedures, to insure that tapes do not get lost. CSO would like to thank the tape users who already have cooperated in removing unused tapes from our storage. USER TRAINING PROGRAM Short Courses, Manuals and Training Cassettes for the CSO Computer Systems Spring Semester 1986 SHORT COURSES CSO is offering the following noncredit short courses during the Spring semester 1986 to acquaint potential users with our computing systems, facilities and services. Short Course Policy Please note that: 1. CSO makes a small charge for most short courses. This is due to two factors: (1) There is a need for equipment to support improvement in teaching methods; (2) The volume of short courses has risen to the point where it is a serious drain on consulting staff time, and some compensation in staffing must be made. The income is dedicated to support of the short course program. 2. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for all courses except where noted. Registration is accom- plished by filling out a SEPARATE copy of the registration form and SEPARATE check or voucher for each registration and sending these documents to CSO in either campus or U.S. mail. Walk-in registrations will be accepted in room 150 DCL only during the hours of 3pm to 5pm on working days. 3. The registration form is available on-line from a Cyber terminal via: TYPE,REGFORM/AS/UN=COURSES or you may call 333-1608 and request that one be sent. 4. Each registrant will be sent a confirmation of registration on which the place of meeting is noted. This slip must be taken to all meetings of the class and shown when requested. 5. Refunds of fees will be made only for canceled classes, or upon receipt of an application for refund on or before the day BEFORE the second meeting of the class. There will be no such refunds for classes that meet only once. Application for a refund must be made in room 150 DCL during normal office hours; no applications will be accepted by telephone. Refunds are made by means of a credit memorandum (good for one year); exceptions will be made only in extremely unusual circumstances and at the discretion of the user training coordinator. 6. A copy of the current (updated) short course listing may be examined on-line via: TYPE,COURSES/AS/UN=COURSES. 7. Updates (changes) since the printed short course listing was issued may be examined on-line via: TYPE,UPDATES/AS/UN=COURSES. This file contains current information on courses and sections that have been newly opened, canceled, filled and closed, etc. 8. CSO reserves the right to cancel courses or sections with insufficient enrollment.

  • Chapter 17 Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
    Chapter 17 Structural Dynamics Research Corporation Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC) was founded in 1967 by Dr. Jason (Jack) Lemon, Albert Peter, Robert Farell, Jim Sherlock and several others. Lemon and his partners had previously held teaching and research positions in the University of Cincinnati’s Mechanical Engineering Department. Initially, this was a mechanical engineering consulting company that over the years made the transition to being a full- fledged mechanical design software company. One of the company’s early consulting assignments was for U. S. Steel and it was so impressed by the work SDRC did that it decided to invest in the company and for a time held about a 40 percent ownership position. The relationship with U.S. Steel was far more than simply a financial investment. SDRC’s engineers worked closely with U. S. Steel’s sales and marketing people to create new markets for steel. One example was the machine tool industry which had traditionally used castings for the base of their machine tools. U.S. Steel wanted to sell these companies plate steel that could be welded into the shapes needed. SDRC’s engineers developed the analytical techniques that proved to these prospective customers that the steel plate bases were an acceptable alternative. This relationship generated numerous leads for SDRC’s seminars on advanced engineering design and analysis technologies. U.S. Steel also had two people on the company’s board of directors during this period. Dr. Russ Henke, who was also a University of Cincinnati graduate, joined SDRC in 1969 as director of computer operations, at a time when the company had about 20 employees.

The comparison involves approximately a hundred computers, ranging from the Earth Simulator to personal computers. 1. Introduction and Objectives The timing information presented here should in no way be used to judge the overall performance of a computer system. The results reflect only one problem area: solving dense systems of equations. This report provides performance information on a wide assortment of computers ranging from the home-used PC up to the most powerful supercomputers. The information has been collected over a period of time and will undergo change as new machines are added and as hardware and software systems improve.

  • IBM, Lockheed and Dassault Systemes
    Chapter 13 IBM, Lockheed and Dassault Systèmes Introduction This is probably the most complicated chapter in this book in that it involves a number of different companies involved in an overlapping manner over several decades with multiple different products. It does not follow a strictly chronological format very well. Therefore, I have chosen to cover some of the following subjects over longer timeframes rather the chop them up into time-dependent chunks. Also, this is really the story of CADAM and CATIA and not of IBM per se. As a consequence, I have kept the discussion of IBM to the minimum required to put what occurred with these software products into context. Finally, although Dassault Systèmes acquired SolidWorks in 1997, that company and its products are discussed separately in Chapter 18. Lockheed’s early development of CADAM CADAM (Computer-graphics Augmented Design and Manufacturing) began as an internal mainframe application referred to as “Project Design” within Lockheed’s Burbank, California operation in 1965. It was initially implemented on IBM 360 computers using IBM’s 2250 graphics display terminals. From the start, a primary objective was to minimize response time. Working with IBM, the two companies determined that optimum productivity would be achieved if the response time for individual operations could be kept under 0.5 seconds. This was typically accomplished with CADAM although some critics claim that it was done by implementing commands that individually did less than what other systems accomplished with each command. According to these critics, the result was that it took more steps to accomplish a given set of tasks with CADAM than with competitive systems.
