Users' Guide to SPEEDI: The Sandia Partitioned Engineering Environmental Database Implementation. Topical Report RSI-0330.

摘要

This report is an overview of the general use of the Sandia Partitioned Engineering Environmental Database Implementation, or SPEEDI. This software implements the evaluation and design which are documented in earlier reports. We briefly summarize some of the discussion and notation used in those reports for the convenience of the reader. Sandia currently maintains a large Environmental Databank consisting of data represented in a variety of formats. It was desired to convert from a hard copy system to a digitized system. A two-level system was proposed and implemented. The top level consists of a stable, read-only environment for engineers seeking information from the Environmental Databank. The lower level, the Analysis Databank, is an organized and automated work space to be used by analysts who require read-write access to large quantities of data. As these data are processed and reviewed, some may be selected for permanent retention in the top level. At this point, Quality Assurance (QA) restrictions may be applied. 9 refs.
