We describe the information and computing infrastructure in National Institute of Health Sciences, which were constructed until May, 1996. The in house computer network and computing facilities for common usage in NIHS have been developed under the initiative of Division of Chem-Bio Informatics since 1989. The present LAN (Local Area Network) consists of coaxial cables and optic fibers which are connected by a LAN Switch. The LAN is connected to the Internet via IMnet, the inter ministry network back bone of the Science and Technology Agency. Various types of workstations and personal computers such as SUN WS, Silicon Graphics WS, IBM WS & PC, Macintosh, and NEC PC are connected to the LAN. This computing network environment which we named NICI (NIHS Information and Computing Infrastructure) not only provides network communications but also facilitates advanced computating systems for chemical safety research at NIHS as a COE.
我们介绍了国立卫生科学研究所截至1996年5月构建的信息与计算基础设施。自1989年起，化学-生物信息学部门牵头开发了国立卫生科学研究所内部的计算机网络及通用计算设施。目前的局域网（LAN）由同轴电缆和光纤组成，通过局域网交换机连接。该局域网通过科技厅的部际网络主干IMnet连接到互联网。各种类型的工作站和个人计算机，如SUN工作站、硅图工作站、IBM工作站和个人计算机、苹果麦金塔电脑以及NEC个人计算机，都连接到了该局域网。我们将这个计算网络环境命名为NICI（国立卫生科学研究所信息与计算基础设施），它不仅提供网络通信，还为国立卫生科学研究所作为卓越中心进行化学安全研究提供先进的计算系统。
