Comparison of system-2000 and Scientific Information Retrieval (SIR) in a specific scientific application
This paper compares specific procedures of two data base management system available at Brookhaven National Laboratory, System-2000 (S2K) and Scientific Information Retrieval (SIR). The computer on which these reside is a CDC-6600 and the operating system is NOS-BE level 488. For this comparison study a new S2K data base and a SIR data base were created using a subset of the actual raw data from the original Acid Rain data base. Identical data was loaded in both data bases and the procedures followed were duplicated as closely as possible on both. All jobs were run in batch mode to get accurate statistics on computer time and resources. This paper does not try to compare the two data base management systems exhaustively, but rather discusses the results of certain specific procedures in terms of computer resources and the ease of implementing these procedures from the user's standpoint.
