Item User interface and BFX communications software design(1987) Liu, Yuan-Kwei; Johnson, Olin G.; Pyle, Leonard Duane; Wu, Tiee-JianAn NEC SX-2 supercomputer has been installed at the Houston Area Reasearch Center (HARC). A DEC VAX 8200 computer is utilized as a front-end processor for the SX-2. HYPERchannel hardware, NETEX, and the Bulk File Transfer utility (BFX) are used to communicate between the two systems. In this paper nine programs have been implemented on the VAX/VMS system. The programs utilize BFX to copy text and binary files between the two systems, submit jobs from the VAX to the SX-2, inquire about SX-2 status and job control from the VAX, and deliver job output from the SX-2 to the VAX.
