Description

The 8 GeV accumulation ring and the 30 GeV x 30 GeV main ring of TRISTAN, an accelerator-storage ring complex at KEK, are controlled by a single computer system. About twenty minicomputers (Hitachi HIDIC 80-E's) are linked to each other by optical fiber cables to form a N-to-N token-passing ring network of 10 Mbps transmission speed. The software system is based on the NODAL interpreter developed at CERN SPS. The KEK version of NODAL uses the compiler-interpreter method to increase its execution speed. In addition to it, a multi-computer file system, a screen editor, and dynamic linkage of datamodules and functions are the characteristics of KEK NODAL
