Migrating criticality safety calculations from mainframe computing at Savannah River

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10166770
The Savannah River calculational environment is beginning migration away from IBM 3090/3081 and CRAY mainframe computing. Preliminary code migrations to workstations and personal computers have been made but such use has been limited to unofficial ``scoping`` calculations. Lessons learned suggest migration, while a boon to the end-user, presents a variety of quality assurance issues. These are more pronounced than in mainframe environments and suggest a need to rethink the code custodian`s role.
