Functionally Distributed Computing Systems: User Facility Development.

Abstract

Under a grant from the Army Research Office, Kansas State University investigated and studied the feasibility of establishing the multiple minicomputers of the School of Aerospace Medicine into a network of computer resources. A PDP 11/70 and a PDP 11/34 were acquired for use as host computer in a distributed processing configuration. Simulations were written to test the network concept prior to installation. The report describes the result of the investigation. (Author)
