<pre>Network Working Group
Request for Comments: 403 G. Hicks
NIC: 11925 Utah
January 10, 1973
<span class="h1">Desirability of a Network 1108 Service</span>
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,

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc403">RFC 403</a> Desirability of a Network 1108 Service January 1973</span>
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.
