FOCUS—A remote access file handling system on-line to a CDC 6000 series computer

D. Ball, P. M. Blackall *, V. Gerard, G. R. Macleod, P. J. Marcer § and E. M. Palandri

CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

The paper describes a system to provide multi-access facilities for file creation, storage and manipulation on a medium sized computer, together with remote job submission to a large batch processing computer. Within this framework, the system also provides file facilities for the accumulation of sample data from a number of remote process control computers which acquire data in real time in physics experiments and which are connected to the file handling machine by very high speed data links. The system has been entirely implemented at CERN on a CDC 3100 computer connected to a CDC 6600 computer and a CDC 6500 computer.

Received December 1969.
