The complexities of monitoring and controlling the various DIII-D Tokamak systems have always required the aid of high-speed computer resources. Recent upgrades in computer hardware to the DIII-D central operations and Neutral Beam computer systems have forced a redesign of the corresponding software. These newer systems cannot make use of the antiquated computer platforms of the past. Entirely new software has been written/installed to replace the old. During the design and development many newer features have been added; especially in the realm of Graphical User Interfaces and database management. For most of the systems involved, this required the implementation of a third party software, including a crucial package written by AccessWare Inc. of Houston Texas.
