Computer Forum

Carolyn Tajnai distributed copies of a Computer Forum updateand the 1981/82 Annual Report. She said that due to thedepressed economy, some members of the Forum were droppingtheir membership. To compensate for this, incentive rewardsare being offered to persons bringing in new members.

Computer Facilities

Ralph Gorin presented a report on the 1981/82 ar L982/83budgets and proposed expenditures. He propose:! facilitiesupgrade by either selling the departmental share : SCORE,which is currently 45%, or by upgrading both SCO and SAILto get more capacity and more modern software. lie said thatthe department was constrained by the University from makinga profit on the sale of equipment. Brian Reid mentioned thatSAIL had lost money in 1982, and he asked what was being doneto prevent another loss. Ralph Gorin said the rates had beenraised, thereby preventing an additional deficit. Anotherreason for the rate increase was hopefully to prevent a spiralwhereby staff was reduced, causing a decrease in system main-tenance, which makes users leave and forces remaining users topay more to take up the slack created by the departing users.

Gene Golub stressed that at this point, Ralph was still exploringthe best course of action and no decisions had yet been made.

Admissions Report

Professor Buchanan presented admissions data for 1981-82 and1982-83 and explained the admissions process. In the firstround, each folder was read twice and 7 0 candidates wereselected. In round two, nearly all the Admissions Committeemembers read the folders of the 70 candidates. After lengthydiscussions, 27 of the best were chosen, of which 16 chose toattend Stanford. Five of the six persons on the iting listalso accepted. This indicates competition among ood schoolsfor outstanding candidates. Of the 33 women who ..plied, 9were admitted and 6 accepted our offer. Profess Buchanansaid there had been a 70% increase in applicants. Gene Golubsuggested putting a limit of 10 on the CS/MS students.

Proposal for new CSCE Program

Professor Ullman outlined the proposed requirements for a newCSCE degree. This degree is aimed at students who areaffiliated with an employer and who therefore need academicsbut not a programming project. This program would be primarilyfor paying customers. Non-paying customers could into theMS program.

Chairman Golub saidthat as long as the department has an income, it is unlikelythe University will orovide additional funds.

The EE Department has decided to terminate their involvement inthe program because it felt the benefits did not equal the amountof work put into the program. Also, the department does notwant large numbers of students doing programming projects andoverloading the system.

Professor Ullman said the CSD should develop a new program orabandon the degree entirely. Gene Golub invited the facultyto send their comments to Professor Ullman and said it may benecessary to convene again before the end of October tofinalize the degree requirements.

Industrial Lectureship

Professor John McCarthy requested the establishment of anIndustrial Lectureship in Computer Science and Engineering,starting in Spring Quarter 1983. He felt that by making thisposition known among industry people, we could attract faculty-quality people who would want to give a course. This wouldenable advance scheduling of one year, whereas in the pastit was set up on an ad-hoc basis. Chairman Golub suggestedthis program be tried on a one-year experimental basis.Professor Wiederhold made the motion, it was seconded byProfessor Cheriton, and it passed unanimously, with oneabstention.

Appointment of Forest Baskett

Chairman Golub announced the impending appointment of ForestBaskett as a consulting professor for a two-year term endingon August 31, 1984. There would be no salary attached tothis position. Professor Ullman moved that this appointmentbe approved, Professor Cheriton seconded, and it passedunanimously.

University Oral Exam

The University requires an oral exam. A department maychoose the format of the university oral. In theComputer Science Department, the oral exam is the defense of the dissertation.

Compositionof the Orals Committee:

1. The University requires that the orals committee must have at least five members including thechairperson. All members of the exam committee must be Academic Council members unlessspecific permission has been grantedby the Graduate Studies and Research Office.

2. Chairperson. The chairperson of the orals committee is selected by the Graduate Program Office.The chairperson must be an Academic Council member and must be selected from a departmentotherwise not represented on the committee.

3. Advisor. The student's advisor is a member of the committee.

4. Readers. The members of the student's reading committee usually serve on the orals committee.Readers who are not Academic Council members need prior approval from the Graduate Studiesand Research Office to sit on die orals committee.

5. Extras. The department assigns a "random" CSD faculty member to each orals committee topromote contacts outside areas ofspecialization. Their name must be on die Oral Request Form(G2l), and diey must be members of the Academic Council.

Time Schedule:

1. Candidate discusses dissertation. (Approximately 1 hour).

2. Questions from the audience. (Approximately15 minutes).

3. Break between Parts II and 111. (Approximately 15-20 minutes).

4. Session is closed to all but candidate, examining committee and University-appointed chair.(Approximately 1 hour).

Orals may be scheduled any time after a substantial portion of the dissertation is complete. We encouragestudents to schedule the exam during the quarter preceding the one in which they intend to submit final draft.This allows time for post-oral revision of the document.

A student must submit University form G2l, "Request for Oral Exam," at least a month before theproposed orals date. The department secretary will make sure that diecommittee is properly composed, andwill appoint the "random" CSD faculty member. The form goes to the Graduate Program Office. Theyassign the chairman. Along with the form, the student should submit a brief abstract. This abstract is mostoften the only document read by die chairman. The student should personally distribute the abstract anddissertation draft to the other committee members at least one weekprior to the oral.

Oral exams arc not scheduled during finals week nor during quarter breaks. Students should plan thescheduling of their oral exam well in advance.

Report from Computer Facilities

Ralph Gorin

September 28, 1982The consolidated budget for 1981/1982 (April 82 revision) was $1,111,797. Our actual

expenditures ran a trifle higher: $1,113,282. The operating deficit for 81/82 amounted to $71,338.This is approximately equal to the deficit that we had accumulated through March, 1982. Thus,although the rates established in April were not sufficient to diminish thedeficit, they are sufficient tokeep the computer facilities operation in financial balance.

For 1982/83 we plan a budget of $1,115,536. Upwards presure on salaries, expendables,maintenance contracts, and other components of operating costs are mostly offset by a reduction inour charges for depreciation.

SAIL Score Xerox1981/82 379,617 530,717 147,666 (budget)1982/83 275,849 454,831 159,379 (budget)

For 1982/83, I plan to use thesame chargeout rates as were established in April 82. There may bea small reduction in charges in April 83, if all goeswell.

Proposed Facilities Upgrades

CSD has dramatically outgrown its share of Score. The other owners of Score, likewise, haveexpanded their use to the extent that they notice the general inadequacy of Score. I propose threeactions to cure our problems with Score, and to upgrade our other large timesharing resource, SAIL.I believe that these changes are necessary to accommodate the continued growth of departmentalresearch.

" Sell the CSD share of Score. The book value of Score is now $220,000. Our 45% share isworth approximately $100,000. We would offer our share of Score, first to the co-owners,CSL, ICL, and the OR department, then to the EE department and other labs within it, theschool of Engineering, and CIS. At that price, I believe we can find a willing buyer.

" Buy a replacement for Score. This replacement will have twice the main memory capacityand twice the disk capacity as Score. The total cost is estimated at $432,000.

" Buy a variety of upgrades for SAIL. These will replace the present CPU with a faster onethat is maintainable. We will augment the IO connections in SAIL to take advantage ofDEC standard disks, and buy such disks and tapes as are needed to replace an old andover-spread portion of SAIL. My goals in upgrading SAIL are these: to increase thereliability of the system, to employ more modern disks and tapes, eliminating the old disksfor an immediate savings in space, and eventually, to eliminate the old tapes, saving morespace. It is not a current goal to eliminate the use of the WAITS operating system, but itshould be noted that the resulting SAIL configuration would be capable of running TOPS--20. The total cost is estimated at $168,000; 60% of this cost is for the new peripherals.

6630

This purchase would be financed from the proceeds of the sale of Score, general gifts,accumulated depreciation, theStauffer grant, and Bell OYOC monies. We will also ask Dean Wessellsfor a contribution since the systems are necessary for specialized instructional purposes (e.g., robots,EMYCIN). Funding sources will be replenished in the usual wayfrom depreciation charges.

If this new hardware in acquired in mid-December, the CF operating budget for 82/83 will changeas follows:

Score SAIL(Replacement) (Upgraded)

Increase 1n depredation 2,917 37,422Increase 1n maintenance 330 5,357Former system total 454,831 275,849

New system totalsPercentage change

458,078 318,6280.71% 15.51%

It should be noted that CSD was responsible for 45% of the operating costs of Score, but we wouldbe responsible for all of the operating costs of its replacement. Thus, while the CF consolidatedbudget increases by $46,356, CSD will be responsible for an additional $168,935 in operating costsduring the period January 83 through August 831 . This must be raised from sponsored research orfrom general gifts. The unit cost of disk at the Score replacement will be half the current rate2 ; wehope we can attract more sponsored research to the system at thesereduced rates.

In 83/84 this increased responsibility is estimated at$250,000

oWe will moveto a usage-based charging algorithm for the Score replacement

I distributed to the CSCE committee a proposal forand thought you might like to see it. I also sentvarious EE and systems types informing them of thjethis proposal and inviting them to read the source

a replacement programa message tofact that i was makingfile.

PROPOSED

REQUIREMENTS

FOR NEW CSCE DEGREE

The basic idea is to provide a degree that is good preparationfor an OYOC or HCP student who is affiliated with an employerand who therefore needs coursework but not necessarily a programmingproject. I assume that people coming to us right out of undergraduateschool would be channeled into the regular CSMS program.

This proposal tries also to avoid some of the problems that madethe CSL folks less than happy with the CE program. Dropping theproject requirement should reduce the workload somewhat, andby broadening the requirements, the degree becomes less of a''masters in systems.'"

The following requirements reflect my own prejudices on what itis important to teach budding hackers; you may have other ideas.The requirements are divided into four groups, prerequisites.Core CS, math-oriented courses, and EE-oriented courses.The total credit requirement would be 45 (or 42?).

PREREQUISITES: CSIOBA.B (intro. to CS concepts), CSIII-112 (machineorg. i assem. lang.). CSI42 (prog, langs.). We would assume thesecourses had already been taken, but to make the program accessibleto students with a weak background, allow them to apply somethinglike 6 or 9 credits from this group to the degree.

CORE CS: (21 credits) CSI43 (Compilers), CSI4S (Database),CSI46 (Op. Syst.), CSI37A (NA), CSIS6 (Intro, to theory),CSI6I (Alg. and Data Structures), C5223 (AI).

MATH GROUP: (3 credits) Choose .2 from a short list of courses .such as CSISO (Discrete Math), CSIS4 (Language Theory),CSISS (Concrete Math), C51378 (NA), MathlSOA, B (Logic andComputability), Statll6 (probability), Statll9-120 (Statistics).0R153 or 0R154 (Intro, to OR).

EE GROUP: (6 credits) Choose 2 from a short list of coursessuch as IC-oriented courses (EE2I6, EE3I3, EE392V) andhardware/architecture courses, such as those crosslisted inCS: CS2II-212 and the CS3IX numbers.

Problems: In order that the required courses could be takenby people who also need some of the prerequisite courses,we would need to offer some of them more than once.

I am unclear as to how to avoid the problem that CE hasbecome a catch-all for people who had our (rather low-level)requirements in undergraduate school and register for the CEdegree while planning to study something entirely outside theintended field.

ANNOUNCEMENT

INDUSTRIAL LECTURESHIP IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

The Computer Science Department of Stanford Universityis pleased to announce the Industrial Lectureship in ComputerScience and Engineering starting in Spring Quarter 1983.The purpose of the lectureship is to increase interaction betweenComputer Science Department faculty and students and computer scientistsindustry.

in local

Each quarter the Computer Science Department will inviteone outstanding computer scientist from the local industry to givea course in his specialty. Office space, computer use and salaryappropriate to the teaching of one course will be provided. It isexpected that the balance of the lecturer's salary will be paid byhis permanent employer.

Recommendations or applicationsshould be addressed to the Chairman of the Department, ProfessorGene Golub.
