Current HEP Computing Upgrade Activities

 CPU Expansion:   (1) A HP/700 Unix workstation is being configured 
                      to be included into the system.

                  (2) A PC with a 166MHz Pentinum processor has 
                      been ordered. It will run linux to be used
                      for Babar simulations.

 Data Storage:    (1) A 76 GBytes Fast-Wide SCSI-II disk array has
                      been installed and configured.

                  (2) A second Exabyte is being installed.

 Safety/Operation:    Three Uninterrupted Power Systems (UPS) have 
                      been installed. They are being configured
                      at software level. (These UPSs can proivde
                      upto 7.5 minutes of power supply to a CPU-disk
                      system in case of temporary power failure.)


 Network:             Migration of local network from 10BaseT to 100BaseT  
                      in the High Energy Physics Lab is under consideration.
 
 Software:            CVS, AFS and Babar simulation/reconstruction software 
                      are planed to be installed locally.
