The following information was presented as supplementary information from the Unicos Performance Evaluation and Tuning class offered April 1999. The links were "behind the fence" and are not available to ARSC over the public network. Note, some of the links from the documents are missing (either not copied or not available). UPT class was taught by Lonnie Berkebile, many of the materials were prepared by David Wright who taught the UACC Unicos Accounting class offered March 1998.

Class notes:

Course books are available via kcarlson cubicle.
The first four chapters were captured, links are to postscript files.
Course was taught with Unicos 9.0 materials, the Unicos 8.0 books were also provided as they contain a number of "if-this-then" evaluation and tuning examples not replicated in the 9.0 materials which are still relevant.
