FIGURE 4. ARIES-II CONFIGURATION: MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM 
(NETWORK WORKSTATION) | 
If a customer has a host which is heavily loaded during the 
day, but available at night, a network workstation would be the best 
choice. Processing jobs generated during the day can be either pro- 
cessed locally on the network workstation CPU, or queued for proces- 
sing at night on the host. In addition, the network workstation 
need not have its own tape drive, as the A2ASP software will allow 
the workstation user to access the host tape drive. 
Since the network workstation is interfaced to the host via: a 
dual ported disk, little overhead is introduced by submitting a job 
to the host, as the data to be processed are visible to both Sys- 
tems. 
If à customer has a powerful host which is either dedicated 
to image analysis, or not heavily used. then a peripheral work- 
station may be indicated. A peripheral workstation on a powerful 
CPU will function faster than a network workstation on a less power- 
ful CPU, and will tend to cost less as well. 
Peripheral and network workstations may be mixed in a single 
System. In larger configurations, it is highly recommended and in 
Some configurations mandatory, that at least one peripheral worksta- 
tion be included on the host. This workstation would be used 
primarily to control batch processing and common peripherals. As an 
absolute minimum, a host system must have an operator's station from 
which batch processing is controlled.
