A Simple Multiprocessor Management System for Event-Parallel Computing
Offline software using TCP/IP sockets to distribute particle physics events
to multiple UNIX/RISC workstations is described. A modular, building block
approach was taken, which allowed tailoring to solve specific tasks efficiently
and simply as they arose. The modest, initial cost was having to learn about
sockets for interprocess communication. This multiprocessor management software
has been used to control the reconstruction of eight billion raw data events
from Fermilab Experiment E791.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, compressed Postscript, LaTeX. Submitted to NI

A NASA family of minicomputer systems, Appendix A
This investigation was undertaken to establish sufficient specifications, or standards, for minicomputer hardware and software to provide NASA with realizable economics in quantity purchases, interchangeability of minicomputers, software, storage and peripherals, and a uniformly high quality. The standards will define minicomputer system component types, each specialized to its intended NASA application, in as many levels of capacity as required
