From Carey Tue May 19 14:37:29 1998 From: Carey (Carey) Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 14:37:29 PDT Subject: [IGSMAIL-1904] New Computer for the CDDIS Message-ID: ****************************************************************************** IGS Electronic Mail Tue May 19 14:37:29 PDT 1998 Message Number 1904 ****************************************************************************** Author: Carey Noll/CDDIS Subject: New Computer for the CDDIS The CDDIS staff is pleased to announce that our GPS data archiving and processing activities will soon be operational on our new UNIX platform, a Digital AlphaServer 4000. We have been testing our software on this new system for many weeks and with the help of the various IGS data centers that supply data to the CDDIS, we have successfully ported our archive to the new computer. Some particulars: Host name: cddisa.gsfc.nasa.gov Host number: 128.183.204.168 Access: ftp and web Data on-line: Currently 150 days on two disks, soon to be ~300 days on two disks Products: All since GPS week 0650 in compressed format All data and product filenames are in lower case, with the exception of the .Z indicating a compressed file. Users should contact Carey (noll at cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov) to obtain the username and password for this system since it is different than those for the VAX system, cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov. Data and products are not accessible on cddisa through anonymous ftp. As of June 1, 1998 the most timely data will be available from host cddisa.gsfc.nasa.gov. For the next few months, we will continue to maintain the archive on cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov by ftp-ing data from cddisa back to the VAX (host name cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov). I would like to thank the CDDIS staff, in particular, Maury Dube, for his heroic efforts on getting this system operational. Not only did he have to keep after the timely data availability through our VAX system, he had to port software to the new UNIX system. Without his dedication, I don't know how we could have done the job! We encourage feedback on the new system. We hope you will like using cddisa and will find the data availabilty more timely and the UNIX system easier to use. Please contact me if you have any questions or problems as well as getting a username/password. Regards, Carey. [Mailed From: Carey Noll 301-286-9283 ]
