Abstract
The increasing demands upon large digital computing facilities
have necessitated the development and use of a system control
program to provide for continuous automatic job processing., A
comparative study of two current systems was conducted. The
first, CDC FORTRAN 60, is described and its advantages and disadvantages
are pointed out. This system was modified by the authors
to incorporate a remote ( satellite ) operation in a time shared mode
The second system studied was the CDC COOP MONITOR system.
This system, a more complex, sophisticated control system is likewise
discussed . Modifications to correct certain disadvantages of
this system are shown, along with the programming necessary to
provide for remote station operation in the COOP MONITOR environment.
Several other programs which were developed by the authors to
improve the computing center's capability are documented. These
include; ( 1 ) A graph plotting routine utilizing CDC 1604/160
computers and a CDC 165 / CalComp Plotter, ( 2 ) A large file
merg sort routine, and (3) A data display "Line Printer" routine.
The authors wish to express their appreciation to Professor
Mitchell L. Cotton of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, and
to the personnel of the school's computing center for their kind
consideration during the term of this thesis.
