- From the presentation that I attended at the beginning of this month, I got the
- impression that anyone could purchase time on the system. If I remember
- correctly, there are several (4?) groups from UVic using the DECmpp 12000, one
- group from UBC, and many other groups that I can't remember for a total of
- sixteen customers. I do remember there is one group that is a commercial shop.
-
- Access to the DECmpp 12000 is available via DNET, BCnet, and Internet to the
- DECstation 500 front end with the following development tools available
- (as listed on an information sheet):
-
- - MPL parallel extension of C
- - MPF parallel FORTRAN based on FORTRAN 90
- - MPPE debugger for MPL and MPF
- - Ultrix operating system
- - Motif graphical user interface
- - image, math, and graphics libraries
-
- Hope this helps.
