Abstract

The optimization of the distributed computing environment at the Research Information Processing System center of the Tsukuba Research Center is described. A hierarchical interconnection of local computer networks was accomplished by integrating bridges and gateways. The optimization of the distributed computing environment was pursued in the large internetwork by combining centralization and decentralization. The performance of the network configuration was evaluated to determine if it could cope with future demands in the local area network environment
