The period 1989 - 1994:
Graphical servicesn
In 1989, UNIRAS graphical packages were installed on the Convex, the VAX
6310 and a SUN of the Observation systems division These packages comprised Unimap, Unigraph and the FGL- and
AGL-libraries. As the workstations and desktops increasingly became powerful,
the requirements for special purpose graphical equipment decreased fast. At first,
the SUN3/GX4000-configuration
was taken out of service as a Laboratory general service in 1992. The configuration
was maintained by the IT-division
in order to finish some projects that still required this configuration. Temporarily,
a Silicon Graphics 240/VGX configuration
was installed in the graphical systems part of the central computer room. This
system was only used by the (former) group "parallel systems". In 1994, the I2S-configuration
was put out of use.
