JCL (Job Control Language) Procedures to Run the Hull Code on the Cyber 205 Computer Installed on CSIRONET

摘要

The HULL code is a suite of programs for solving problems of hydrodynamic flow. HULL is a self contained system, with internal maintenance and editing facilities, currently capable of running on a number of computer sited through the world. A utility for the HULL system called SAIL manages the internally coded system, and is used to generate Fortran programs appropriate to the problem being solved. The Materials Research Laboratories obtained a current version of the HULL system early in 1986 from Eglin AFB, through TTCP channels. This version (HULL 120) is capable of solving problems in two or three dimensions, using Eulerian or Lagrangian equations of motion, or a combination of both. Hull 120 has models for elastic/plastic material behaviour, and explosive burn routines, HULL 120 is currently being installed and tested on a Control Data Cyber 205 supercomputer on the CSIRONET network. Part of the installation involves embedding into the HUll system the necessary parameters and changes to make HULL-generated code run correctly on the 205. This process is not yet complete, and will be reported separately. A second part of the installation involves writing the job control language to run HULL. This report describes a complex set of JCL procedures developed at MRL to run HULL programs on the CSIRONET Cyber 205.
