MEMORANDUM ran, THE 1.11?,CORD
SUBJECT: UpExuding of RID Computer Facilities
1. Increasing demand on the RID computers clearly indicates
that an improvement in capability is required. This increaae in
demand hao been occasioned by the following:
a. New opportunities to effectively enhance the per-
formance of the Document Control System by the introduction of
the 1050 terminals.
be New and increased capabilities to perform operational
support to the CS by the transfer of card programs to the computers.
ce Proving of the General 'Information Collation System
es a valuable operational tool; increased reliance on this facility
and &monde for its extension to new applications. .
de The decision to proceed with the uaing the
1h101a and dick files, as a pilot system for the automation of the
much larger in Index.
a, The decision to nvitch the mechanization of the CS
Main Index and all other applications to the IDM 360 system because
of the many advantages offered by this new generation of equipment.
2. tille features of this upgrading aro:
ae increase core storege on both processors from 00K to
be increase Disk storage cnpacity by replacing two 1301
}DL 2'a with two 2302 MIL 2 (1301 not compatible with 360).
c. increase processor time available by dumping on line
printing to tape and printing "off line" on a small 360/30 system.

16... increase processor time available by doing card-toetape
operations on the 360/30.
3. The general need for this upgrading is detailed as followsi
ne Increased core storage provides that the additional
track capacity of the 2302 ean be read into core storage.
b. The additional disk storage provides that the DCO and
Operating Syntem, with necessary earu3ion, can be maintained in a
25X1A single module of 2302; the System with its ilillathles,
Group Tables, Index records and a duplicate of the Operating System
can be maintained in the other three modules of the disk storage.
c. Vith the change to the 1050 system end the inclusion
25X1A of the on the computer it becomes imperative that a larger
Tele-Processine monitor remain in core for remote inquiries. In
the past, due to the size of the foreground pros, it has been
necessary for the sections to batch remote requests, on inquiries
between 1700 and 2400 hours or often do without information that
should have been available. Contrarily, it has been impossible to
take full advantage of available prime shift computer time owing to
core limitations.
d. The demands of the C3 and the related computer systems
require that numbers of listlnes (often in two formats - one for
heedquerters and one for sterile overeene use) be produced. This
bee pieced a heavy printing load on the present 1410 computers. It
is therefore necessary to move this printing requirement to a computer-
ized sub-eystem (360/30) which can perform this task with maximum
efficiency, (to include some adjustments to standard features ouch
as the special "CT" print chain to print at a total maximum efficiency).
This system will also allow 008 to discontinue the Punch Feed Bead
feature installed on their 1401 for the DDP. It will also provide
the care-to-tape operation to accelerate the loading of index con-
version cardo. These operations should free an appreciable amount
of 1410 mein frame time (N.D. We will use standard IBM package pro-
grams on the 360/30 system. The capability of this system will be
augmented 'within the next 9-12 months to handle two printers and 3-4
tape drives.)

e. The mechanization of the 11111 system requires that
we maintain on-line printing capabilities for large outputs from
the remote inquiry background program and maintain the printing
capability of the foreground program by "printing" on magnetic
tape. It is therefore necessary to increase our tape drives
by two (one for each system), since practically all printing for
main line programs will be accomplished by "tape dump."
f. The pilot system is to be programed by
simulation on disk of the Data Cell Drive bucket approach which
we will use in the Main Index system. We are, therefore, committing
two re-time operational applications to equipment which must be
backed up to the fullest extent. For this reason the 1410/7010
Operating Gyotem will be backed up in both units of the 2302 Disk
Storage Files*
g. For the system it will be necessary to
add three 1050 remote inquiry stations and an additional buffer
in each 1414 to handle these remotes. Each station will consist
of a Printer-Keyboard, Card Reader, Printing Card Punch and Control
Unit. These stations will aloo be used for DCS inquiries.
4. It is therefore recommended that the following changes
(for which funds are evailable in approved budgets), be implemented:
a. Increase core storage of each processor by 20K ? a
net increase of $2,600 per month.
U. Replace 1301's with 2302's - a net increase of 0,800.
per month.
c.
(one on each
d.
of $1500 per
per month.
Add 3-1050 Remote Inquiry Stations and two buffers
system) a net increase of $1,970 per month.
Add two additional 729-5 tape drives - en addition
month.
