Most of the time is allocated at no charge to researchers on the basis of peer review by the SDSC Allocation Committee or by the SDSC consortium institutions. Allocations by the committee are made independent of institutional affiliation or funding source. The projects must be non-proprietary. Applications are accepted four times per year (for 12-month allocations) for time beginning 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, or 1 October. Applications must be received at least 45 days prior to the quarter in which you request your allocation to begin (e.g., the deadline is 15 February for time beginning 1 April). For more information, contact the SDSC consultants at (619)534-5100 and request the Overview brochure (which con- tains the application form). June 21, 1989 NNSC Section 1.10, Page 2 A small fraction of time for allocation is available on a non-peer-reviewed basis to industrial cost-sharing partici- pants. Such projects may be proprietary but must be unclas- sified. For more information, contact Bob Randall at (619)534-5060.

The Center's resources include two IBM ES/3090 600J supercomput- ers, staff, and related programs that explore the use of experimental parallel architectures. Nearly four thousand researchers (including three Nobel Prize winners, fourteen members of the National Academy of Science, and ten members of the National Academy of Engineering) have used the Center's facilities to work on more than eight hundred research projects. This work, led primarily by university faculty at more than one hundred fifty institutions, represents a diversity of scientific disciplines, from the physical to social sciences. The Center's two IBM ES/3090 600Js each have six vector facilities and a peak performance of 827.6 megaflops. Each has 512 megabytes of memory and 2 gigabytes of expanded storage. The total disk storage capacity is 266 gigabytes. The principle operating system on the supercomputers is IBM's implementation of UNIX, AIX. Each user application may access up to 896 megabytes in AIX. There is software support for vectorization, including a vectorizing compiler and vector libraries. Both interactive and batch modes are provided in the Center's production environments. Users interested in using parallel computing for their production _________________________ The information in this section is provided in accor- dance with the copyright notice appearing at the front of this guide. 13 September, 1991 NNSC Section 1.2, Page 1 work are strongly encourged to consider applying to the Strategic User Program. In addition to the production operating environments, full support for communications across the Internet is provided via TCP/IP. Interprocess communications, including remote logins, FTP file transfer, and X Window System are sup- ported. FORTRAN is the primary language; it is supported in scalar, vector, and parallel modes, with interactive debug and execution analysis. A high-performance C compiler is also available. Scientific subroutine libraries are avail- able, including vectorized versions. Online HELP facili- ties, UNIX man pages, and a Cornell set of TUTOR examples assist users. Graphics software supports both local hardware and remote facilities. Several well-known applica- tion packages and a list of software are available upon request. At Cornell, interactive graphics devices include TCP/IP- attached workstations. Hardcopy devices include videotape production, 35mm slides, plotters, color PostScript printers, and X Window System screen-dump printers. Remote researchers can use X Window System screen utilities or Tek- tronix emulation to view images. Remote users can also ftp various types of image files and metafiles to themselves for viewing with their own software. Graphics software sup- ported on the supercomputers includes WaveFront and X Window System in AIX. X Window System utilities include xim with WaveFront and volume-renderer interfaces, gnuPLOT, and a version of xmovie. _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s Theory Center resources can be reached via NYSERNet, NSFNET, and associated regionals such as SURANet or Milnet (support- ing remote login, file transfer, and electronic mail), either directly or through a Sun front-end running Berkeley UNIX.

Such catalogs can be very useful for finding uncommon books not available at a local library. Once a book is located, it can often be borrowed by your local library through Interlibrary Loan. Another popular use of library catalogs is to check citations or references. Many catalogs also support more extended reference facili- ties. Please note that on-line catalogs often have a limited number of ports. Users are asked not to abuse their access.

The collection represents a majority of holdings for all libraries on campus. TOMUS is made by Carlyle Systems Inc. located in Emeryville California. The system implements a simple keyword search- ing strategy to locate information in various indexes, author, title, subject, and call number among them. Records can be displayed using several display formats: brief, nor- mal, and full.

Remote users of Northwestern's LUIS catalog who are familiar with other NOTIS-based online catalogs will note some differences in our implementation. Of particular interest may be NU's provision of cross-references in the online catalog, a feature that is to appear in the commercial release scheduled for the end of 1990. This LUIS version does not provide keyword/Boolean searching, but does offer what we call "search qualification," allowing a user to limit an author, title, or subject search result by any of several elements present in the precoordinated indexes: date, format (e.g., serial, video), other word, or holding library. Use of this feature is explained in a help screen which may be accessed by typing an ampersand (&). _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s Domain Name: PACX.ACNS.NWU.EDU Machine Address: 129.105.49.2 _________________________ The information in this section is provided in accor- dance with the copyright notice appearing at the front of this guide.
