Excerpt from Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Division of Computer Research and Technology, Annual Reports, Vol. 1: Fy 1967-71The principal orientation of the Computation and Data Processing Branch during Fiscal Year 1967 has been focused on the conversion from Honeywell computer equipment to the newer ibm 360 line. This task has far exceeded all advance estimates as to the difficulty, complexity, man-hours and staff attention required. During the year, it has been necessary to modify the original goal-conversion of all work to a single by September l966-to the more realistic goal of converting that same workload to a multi-machine configuration (composed of two 360/50's and one by August 1967. The original fixed price contract for conversion programming has been expanded from to and has been augmented by additional contractual support. At year end, the conversion is not yet completed with all Honeywell equipment remaining in use alongside of the new configuration. Discontinuation of the principal Honeywell equipment, two H-800 computers, is expected in early Fiscal Year 1968.In spite of the large portion of its resources consumed by the conversion effort, the Computation and Data Processing Branch has, however, made significant contribution to nih research by continuing to provide imagina tive computational support under extremely difficult circumstances.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
