Abstract : Computer Corporation of America continued to provide Datacomputer and SIP service to the ARPAnet community throughout the final quarter of 1979. The Datacomputer is a network-oriented database management utility which is used in diverse general networking applications. The Datacomputer's software system is designed to allow convenient and timely access to large on-line databases and to promote data sharing by multiple remote users communicating over a network. The seismic application was heretofore the largest user of the Datacomputer. This was true not only in terms of the amount of data stored, but also in terms of its complexity and the required bandwidth of transfer. CCA developed and operated a dedicated Seismic Input Processor (SIP) to field the real-time input stream. Both the real-time data stream storage via the SIP and the SRO files storage from the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory were shut down during this reporting period.
