Installation progress of the NSD-Bevalac VAX
Description
As reported last year, a new VAX 11/780 has been ordered for installation at the Bevalac. This machine will now make on-line, VAX level processing of experimental data available to all present beam lines. A new building, designated 51H, is being constructed at the Bevalac. This building will house the new computer and the existing Gesellschaft fuer Schwerionenforschung (GSI) machine. The location has been chosen to minimize cable runs between this facility and the LEBL and TASS experimental areas. The machine will be installed in two steps. The first step will consist of the VAX 11/780 CPU, memory and disks. The initial configuration will include a 204 Mbyte system disk along with two 456 Mbyte user disks. Also included are DECNET links and license for connection to the LBL-DGATE machine. The system is due for delivery in January of 1984. The second phase includes the purchase and installation of additional devices required for its role as an experimental machine
