Development of a New ICES Executive for the IBM/370CMS and VS Operating Systems.

摘要

A new ICES executive was developed for the IBM/370 to provide more flexibility for engineering use via on-line and background computing environments and also to provide ease of maintainability and improve further development. Input can be prepared and checked (Syntactically and graphically) in an on-line mode, small analyses run and checked on-line, large analyses run in batch mode, and results checked graphically on-line. Two new versions of ICES exist: an on-line (CMS) version and a batch (VS) version. The source, except for a few programs, is independent of the version. This report describes the changes made, the reasons for the changes, new commands developed for on-line use, and performance comparisons with the previous M.I.T. version of ICES. (Author)
