Abstract
The JT-60 data processing system is a large computer complex and gradually modernized by utilizing progressing computer and network technology. There are two major changes in our system. A main computer of FACOM M-780 has been replaced with compatible GS8300 using state-of-art CMOS technology, which results in lower power and space usage with nearly the same performance. Now it can handle ∼500 MB of data per discharge. A gigabit ethernet switch with FDDI ports has been introduced to cope with the increase of handling data. The switch will connect a tera-byte (TB) data server at the bandwidth of a gigabit per second with the main computer and many data acquisition workstations. Other developments in our system are the realization of three workstation-based plans, the TB data server, the VME-based fast data acquisition system and a CICU. The TB data server is basically a UNIX workstation with ∼100 GB RAID disks and ∼900 GB MO auto-exchangers. The VME-based fast data acquisition system has been developed to enlarge the present TMDS. The CICU, which has a function of interfacing the main computer with the CAMAC system, has been replaced with the workstation-based system after the fine tuning.
