+Network Working Group
+Request for Comments: 403 G. Hicks
+NIC: 11925 Utah
+ January 10, 1973
+
+
+ Desirability of a Network 1108 Service
+
+ We have, at the University of Utah, a Univac 1108 that supports the
+ Univac EXEC 8 system. At the recent ICCC conference in Washington,
+ there was some interest expressed in making this computer available
+ to the ARPANET. At present it is not so available. Since there is
+ communication currently between the 1108 and the Utah PDP-10, it
+ would require minimal programming effort to make the 1109 available
+ for network use.
+
+ We would appreciate your comments if you think this service would be
+ desirable. Please direct your comments to:
+
+ Gregory Hicks
+ Computer Science Department
+ Merrill Engineering Building 3160
+ University of Utah
+ Salt Lake City, Utah 84112
+
+ or to:
+
+ Ed Sharp
+ Director, Computer Center
+ Merrill Engineering Building 3116
+ University of Utah
+ Salt Lake City, Utah 84112
+
+ Enclosed please find:
+
+ (1) a brief description of the services available.
+ (2) pricing schedule.
+ (3) time schedule when the EXEC 8 system is available for use.
+
+ Facilities at the University of Utah
+
+ The university of Utah owns a large Univac 1108 computer system with
+ six tape drives, seven high speed drums, 262 megabytes of on line
+ storage, as well as communication equipment for low speed (teletype)
+ timesharing and high speed (Remote Job Entry or RJE) batch terminals.
+ The Computer Center also has available a large (48" x 60") high
+ precision flatbed Plotter, an Optical Scanner and Digitizer. Current
+ (December 72) remote terminals include RJE devices in Logan, Provo,
+
+

+
+RFC 403 Desirability of a Network 1108 Service January 1973
+
+
+ and Salt Lake City (four terminals): Montrose, Durango, Boise and
+ Boulder City, as well as timesharing devices in several of the
+ western states. RJE terminals will shortly be ordered for Denver,
+ Amarillo, Billings and Sacramento. Additional ports have been
+ ordered to allow for further timesharing use of the 1108.
+
+ The Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Computing
+ rates are considerably lower than commercial rates and jobs generally
+ cost less to process at the University than at other state
+ facilities.
+
+ Available software include languages such as FORTAN, COBAL, SNOBOL,
+ APL, BASIC, MAD, ALGOL, LISP, a Text Editor and an Assembler. A wide
+ variety of scientific and statistical routines are available,
+ including the two best known statistical systems and an excellent set
+ of mathematical subprograms. Several simulation packages, as well as
+ an LP program, are available for use.

+ The above schedule is for normal operating conditions. If you are
+ planning to do on site work a call to 581-6111 will confirm the
+ current operation status of the facilities. Normally, we expect to
+ get all jobs with priority of 'R' or higher run overnight. We cannot
+ guarantee overnight turn around of priority S and below but every
+ effort will be made to accommodate all work.
