(26) 6. Bibliographic Data Entry A number of our users have developed programs for automation of preprint and bibliographic files. These will be reviewed and a Suitable program adapted for public use. 7. Time-Oriented Medical Records Support and Other Patient Data Base Studies By the fall of 1972, we hope to review all the work per- formed to date on time-oriented medical records in order to select the optimal file design, the data entry format, and retrievable vocabulary for the near term users. Our goai will be to provide the system tools and the systems or applications programming that will yield generalized programas which can be used by many different departments in the Medical Center. we have found that implementing the system in the Oncology Depart- ment required some changes from the programs used for the Immunology Clinic. We have been impressed by physician acceptance of the time-oriented medical record. Please refer to the user project descriptions for Drs. Fries and Willian for additional explanation of the time-oriented medical record concept. Additional patient data base studies will be undertaken with the following goals: a. Obtain as much information as possible concerning new tile systems to be supported by IBM and other manufac- turers. Review the Stanford SPIRES systea as to its applicability. b. Monitor carefully the problems encountered at Stanford in use of the time-oriented medical records. c. Through literature, search, and travel resain well informed of work being performed elsewhere. d. Assign at least one Computer Science department graduate student (research assistant) to the problem of file structure design for patient medical records. The goal of these studies will be to provide a broad base of information on file systea technology and patient data base systems that will be used to guide Stanford's development and implementation of saedical inforzation systeags. (27) C. Hardware Acquisition ee ae — Seen Se ae naan Rental and purchase funds are included in the FY73 budget for several additional iteas of hardware. A discussion of each item follows. 1. Terminals Several 2741 terminals will be released and funds will ke used to acquire two additional high speed hard copy tersfinals and four CRT terminals. We are especially interested in terminals capable of operating at 1200 baud. The choice will be limited to standard EBCD, Correspondence Code, and ASA terminals, if at all possible. 2. Public Printer/Plotter The availability of a relatively fast printer/plotter device for general use has been requested by our users. We have been looking at several electrostatic printers, as such a device provides extremely fast and flexible printing and plotting. However, electrostatic devices place a high demand on CPU and channel resources. A further review of available plotters will be conducted before a decision 1s reached. 3. PDP-11 Equipment An item is included for purchase of additional core asenory for both the development PDP-11 and the front-end PDP-11. Several additional devices (printer/plotter, DEC tape, voice drum) are to be attached to the front-end PDP-11. Available core will not be adequate to service these devices. The current 8k of core on the development PDP-11 is minimal) for DEC's operating systema. Furthermore, several users have been unable to perform some operations due to the core limitation. An additional 8k is required. 4. Ampex Disk Drive Current 360 disk utilization approaches full capacity. Addition of a new user pack may be necessary unless significant savings result from the new file compaction algoriths. (28) The disk configuration is eight on one control unit, eight plus spare on the other. On the first control unit, the eighth drive serves as a spare since only fifteen disk packs must be permanently mounted. If we decide to add an additional user pack (always permanently mounted), rental of a second Spare drive guarantees better system reliability. 5. Miscellaneous This category includes interfaces and cabling for the voice drum and additional acoustic couplers and sodeas (part- icularly for 1200 baud terminals). D. System Software The specific suggestions for syster software tasks are derived from four criteria: 1. The software should be stabilized as soon as possible. 2. System documentation must be completed. 3. Additional or improved user services should be aimed toward attracting additional incogze. 4. All changes in the form of additional features should be disallowed and the system frozen by the end of the grant year. Three major modifications (points 5, 6, and 7) are in direct conflict with rquirements one and four. However, they are also the primary tasks for achieving reguirement three. i. System Stabilization and Cleanup The effort here will concentrate on the elimination of known inconsistencies and errors in the systema. Wherever easily possible, attempts will be made to reduce the size of the software. 2. Docuaentation A considerable docusentation effort is planned. fhe ains are to remove incompleteness and redundancies in the current documentation of the system software. A general paper should be written explaining the system design, the general functional flow, and the interactions of the various components. Also, a comprehensive table of contents and a cross index to each subject category is useful. (29) Cleanup of documentation and the software will benefit any transfer of the system code to another machine and it will expedit the maintenance of the system by a reduced staff. 3. Support of Additional Hardware We anticipate attaching a number of new peripheral devices to the system. A list of possibilities is discussed in Section C above. Additional software will be required in the front-end pPDP-11 system for support of the voice drum, DEC tape (purchased from this year's grant), and a printeryplotter. Depending upon the type of printer/plotter selected, we may be able to adapt manufacturer-supplied software. With the installation of the Memorex 1270 controller, session-controlling devices (terminals) and graphics devices are often Synonymous. A few of the planned projects are: a. Where necessary, add specialized terminal support. An example is the inclusion of the Correspondence Code translation table as developed by the Stanford 360/67 facility for the unique features of the IBM Magnetic Card Selectric Typewriter terminal (MCST). The new TEKTRONIX terminals (4010), if selected, will require some special- ized support. b. Add a few terminal control commands, such as SET UPPER/ UPLOW and SHOW CASE for specifying upper and lower case options. Other commands determine the terminal type (ASA or TTY), and suppress or allow transaission of the ACME light box characters. ce. For high-speed displays, incorporate modifications to the LIST command so that output is suspended every N lines. This allows the user to scan a page of lines and use BREAK if he is interested in stopping at that point. d. Implement page mode output for displays. A full screen of data is displayed directly froa the user's in-core atray or variables with a single command. The user may then modify the contents of the screen and read it back with another command. Some of the problemas in implemen- tation of this capability are identical to those discussed under "Extended Logon’. (30) 4%. Additional Satellite Machine Support Satellite aachine support will focus on tasks essential for a smooth transition to SUMEX and other long range prograas expected to succeed ACME. In addition, assistance vill be pro- vided to small machine users wishing to connect to the new small machine multiplexor. 5. Batch and OS Services The provision for a user batch service seems necessary for several reasons: Current methods for submission of user disk-to-tape jobs and for submission of LISP overnight work are inadequate and operationally difficult to control. Our present method for providing routine printing and punching services invites some danger to the reliability of the ACME system. Occasional long delays produce poor turn-around time. A number of jobs now routinely executed from an ACHE terminal need not be run interactively. Scheduling these jobs for overnight batch frees both the tersinal and the CPU for additional on-line vork. Recent hardware monitor tests indicate that the CPD is busy for 90%-95% of available cycles during peak daytine hours. Also, there is little free core available during the same hours. Consequently, only a small printing/punching utility region could be supported during the prime shift. Sowever, sufficient core and cycles are available during evening and overnight shifts to accoasodate a limited load of user batch work. Provision for a batch service requires the completion of these tasks: a. An OS-type task which will convert ACHE-type files to OS files and the converse. The design docusent on this feature has been completed. Both direct access and tape data sets will be supported. b. Incorporation of the HASP system into the OS supervisor. HASP facilities are preferred over conventional 0S services for both better operational control and for its smaller core and disk requirement. (31) c. keview of the WYLBUR/HASP interface and its adaptation to the ACME system, if possible. Otherwise, the development of a capability to comsunicate with the HASP in-core reader. d. Development of a small library of standard 0S procedures for routine utility operations (printing, punching, etc.) e. Adaptation of HASP accounting. Development of a program to merge HASP accounting with time-sharing accounting. 6. PL/ACME Object Modules The ability to save compiled code on a PL/ACME progran and reload it at a later time has been repeatedly requested. Unfortunately, we have avoided the subject primarily because of the lack of a definitive stateszent as to its impact on the current design of compiled code. Reloading of compiled code saves user setup time. It also frees CPU cycles now used for recompilation for sore productive purposes. Due to the time constraints of the next year and due to the uncertainties mentioned above, this project is initially planned as a two man-sonth study and design specification. Actual implementation plans will be deferred until the level of effort is known and until the choice of a computer systen is determined. 7. &Extended Logon As the ACME system is currently configured, a user session can be controlled only by a device routed through the Senorex 1270. References to the desirability of expansion to logon services are to be found throughout this report. Specifically, some of the extensions are: a.~ Allow a satellite computer to function as a terainal, invoking programs, etc. b. Allow our front-end PDP-11 to act as a master terminal, ‘logging on‘ users from devices not necessarily capable of sending and receiving lengthy transactions (such as touch-tone telephones). (32) Cc. Provide a master/slave tersinal concept, so that one copy of a user program can service aultiple requests from multiple, geographically separate, users. d. Page mode support for CRT's reguires extension to the ‘one-line-at-a-time' mode of operation. The precise technique for implesentation has not been determined. However, a reorganization of high-level system control functions is absolutely necessary. Expansions to the GET/PUT and READ/WRITE statezents of PL/ACHE are a possibly simple scheme for user comagunications. We feel that this is the most valuable of all suggestions tor additions to the ACME system. The considerable design effort and its impact upon the total structure of the systen software are wore than justifiable. 8. Miscellaneous This category contains a nurber of saall projects, none of which may produce any significant increase in system usage, but all of which provide gratifying additions to the current level of service. Cosapared to the level of effort anticipated for implementation of other proposals in this section, these projects require very minor manpover expenditures. a. A method whereby a user may deteraine his aggregate monthly charges froa his terminal (SHOW CHARGES coarmand). b. Extensions to the Text Editor to allow relocation or duplication of lines of text within a data set (MOVES COPY commands). c. Addition of the UNPROTECT command to coaplement the PROTECT command. This command is necessary if a user wishes to delete or maintain an existing protected file. d. A technique is needed whereby a user can guarantee sufficient disk file space for writing data to his data set. A simple impleszentation is to provide an option wherein the user specifies the nuasber of disk blocks required at OPEN time. the blocks are held in reserve for hia (assuming they are available) until either they are consused or the file is closed. (33) Ve ADMIBISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION Stanford University has an Associate Provost for Computing anc reports directly to the Provost and Academic Vice President. The Provost for Computing and heads the operation of three major facilities: Campus facility, ACMB facility, and SLAC coaputing tacility. The current SCC director, Charles Dickens, has made a number of organizational and procedural changes during the past year in an effort to find an optimal organization for Stanford's system programming efforts. One finding was that organizational rather than functional lines seem to be the most appropriate in the Stanford setting. For six months we had a single systeas group manager for all three facilities - SLAC, Campus, and ACME. Some benefits of the trial period were the creation of a better reporting system, cross-fertilization of ideas, and auch more interaction anong the systems programmers. Some of the dis- advantages were a longer comgpunications chain, travel time between facilities, and some loss of control by facility directors. The operations managers of the three facilities were also brought together in one functional ara of the organization. Cross- facility training among operations was partially cospleted. Reporting schemes were unified, and an exchange of ideas was accomplished. Today, the functional organizations exist for purposes of communication and coordination. Formal lines of authority, however, have been returned to individual facility directors. We have had a number of meetings in the past year with the Hospital Data Processing facility director and his staff. A new era of cooperation and communication between Hospital Data Processing and ACME has arrived. The personnel currently on the ACME payroll, their job func- tion, and percent of full time equivalents are listed below: CURRENT NAME Jamtgaard, & Wiederhold, G Rindfleisch, T. Hundley, L. Frey, R.

(36) B. Justification for FY1973 Budget Fiscal year 1973 will be the final year for the ACME Grant. The gross operating costs will be slightly higher than fiscal year 1972, primarily due to salary increases, some incremental equipment rent and maintenance, and some additional programming help for users. The emphasis in this final year will be one of pulling loose ends together and preparing for a transition to alternate hardware for research and service computing. In addition, strong effort will be made to improve the income posture of the facility so that it can survive in future years without the financial guarantees provided under the ACME Grant. The budget for fiscal year 1973 assumes that the staff level achieved in fiscal year 1972 will be retained. The facility is currently recruiting a replacement for Gio Wiederhold who has had primary responsibility for liaison with users and supervision of the consultants. Gio Wiederhold assumed new responsibilities in the Hospital Data Processing Facility in March, 1972. ACME continues to pay a fraction of his salary for consulting on system problems and planning. An average salary increase of 5% has been included in the budget for fiscal year 1973. Equipment rental costs have been budgeted at the current rental rates. The overall equipment rental budget is slightly higher than fiscal year 1972 due to the installation of Ampex core. Similarly, the hardware maintenance budget is up slightly due to acquisition of terminals and aging of interface hardware built during the past six years, and maintenance of the small machine equipment pool acquired over the past 18 months. Some miscellaneous budget elements include funds for training of staff on the PDP-10, acquisition of some terminal service on PDP-10's rum by other institutions, and some additional communications costs associated with the move to multiple speed terminal support made in April, 1972. Capital equipment requested for the new budget period is as follows: 1) Four CRT terminals 12,600 2) Electrostatic Printer/Plotter, or expansion . . 22 ,000 of small machine equipment pool 3) 8K of core for development PDP-11 5,700 4) 4K of core for production PDP-11 3,300 5) Two 30 character per second typewriter terminals 5,000 6) Acoustic couplers, modems, etc. 1,400 TOTAL $50 ,000 (37) The CRI's and 30 character per second typewriter terminal will replace IBM 2741 terminals which have been rented by the facility in the past. The terminals are less expensive and will provide faster output and a savings of programmer time. The printer/plotter to be acquired has not been selected yet. This item is incorporated in the budget because graphic support continues to attract more users. At the present time the ACME facility has no plotter to support its users. Three user groups have plotters attached to ACME and they find the provision of service to miscellaneous users more than a trivial nuisance. Provision of good interactive graphics support on the ACME system will demand that the facility offer plotting to its users. Another problem which we have had is the slow turnaround on print jobs caused by the speed of our printer and the system degradation caused by use of the printer while PL/ACME is running. This latter problem is induced by IBM hardware and software constraints which cannot be fixed without a very sizable expen- diture of effort. The core for the Development PDP-1l and Production PDP-11 systems will permit use of the DEC Fortran compiler on the development system and will remove the limitation which has hampered the efforts of several development groups. The added core for the production PDP-1l will be needed only if several additional user devices or services are inter- faced through the PDP~1l. We have barely enough core to mount the voice drum at the present time. We assume that additional special devices will be needed. Funds for acoustic couplers modems, etc., will be needed to effectively use the new terminals from remote locations. Also, a number of medical school groups are being moved to space adjacent to but outside of the current Medical Center buildings. For such users, telephone service for terminals is a must. This requires expansion of the communication equipment available. Users pay for their own terminals and acoustic couplers but the facility helps to respond to their temporary require- ments or new requirements pending delivery of new equipment. (38) C.

Income Projection: A revised rate structure was implemented effective April 16, 1972. In general, rates for use of ACME were increased by 25% to 30%. Some users computing bills were doubled as a result of the new increase. Actual income for the month ending May 15, 1972 amounted to $31,500. Some users will reduce their utilization due to the higher rates. A conservative estimate of income for fiscal year 1973 is $360,000. This figure does not include the terminal service fees which cover terminal rent plus other services to the ACME user community which could not be covered by the current funding level of the ACME grant. Some major users of the current system will be transferring loads to dedicated small computer systems in the next 1l2-month period. One such user is Dr. Stanley Cohen whose Drug Interaction Program should be running on a dedicated PDP-1l by early 1973. Another such user is Dr. Howard Sussman in the Clinical Laboratory; programs are being written now for use of the newly acquired Sigma 3 by the Clinical Laboratory. Both Drs. Cohen and Sussman will continue to make some use of ACME for data analysis but the income from these two sources will be much reduced over current jevels. On the next page you will see a table which shows the monthly income collected by ACME for the past nine months. Based upon this experience and the estimated impact of the higher rates, it is felt that the $360,000 is a reasonable estimate of next fiscal year's income from computer service fees.
