Wendel 602-963-7373 ext. 568 _______________________________________________________________________ So much for the official PR. We've got a pretty good thing going here. We have a VAX 11/780 and a VAX 11/750. There are about 20 user accounts on our 780. Usually only 5 - 10 are online at any time. Our usual load factor is less than 2 (4.1bsd measurement). The R&D staff totals less that 50 people (engineers, scientist, technicians) at this time. Our primary activity is supporting a CAD system for VLSI design that is being developed in house. We are working with high resolution (1024 X 768) color graphics and are ordering several RAMTEK 6212 and 6211 medium resolution systems (512 X 512). Our 780 is connected to several test computers, and most anything else we can find. We've been saddled with the task of porting our CAD system (called STRIDE for STRuctured Ic DEsign) to VMS for 2 other corporate divisions. But all of our development and other work will continue to be done on UNIX. We are trying to get a VAX 11/730 for our VMS target system. This will be the first major task for this position. STRIDE is written entirely in C. Completion of the port is expected in February 1983. I will be at USENIX in Boston. Anyone interested can contact me over the net (ucbvax!sytek!gi!mike or decvax!sytek!mike). If you will be a USENIX we can arrange to meet there and discuss the position further.

Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, the principal
U. S. operated optical astronomy observatory in the Southern
Hemisphere, has an immediate opening for an outstanding
programmer/analyst to work on the design and implementation
of control programs for astronomical instrumentation and for
the reduction of astronomical data. The Observatory uses
both DEC PDP-11/73 and Data General eclipse computers for
telescope and instrument control on Cerro Tololo and an
MV/8000 and a Vax 11/750 at its La Serena headquarters. Its
4-meter telescope is the largest in the southern hemisphere.
The position offers the opportunity to work with a
small group on forefront problems in the applications of
computers to observational astronomy. Current projects
include visual detector systems using charged coupled de-
vices and two-dimensional photon-counters, a cooled multi-
channel spectrometer for the infrared, infrared array imag-
ing detectors and the implementation of 32-bit UNIX worksta-
tions to provide on-line data reduction.
The ideal candidate will have a Masters or PhD in Com-
puter Science, Astronomy or Physics and experience with
real-time operating systems, instrument control application
and assembly and high level languages. Candidates with
Bachelor's degrees and several years experience in astronom-
ical or related applications will also be considered.
The Observatory offices and housing area are located in
La Serena, Chile, a pleasant coastal city in a mild climate
500 KM north of Santiago. The telescopes are 90 KM east of
La Serena at an altitude of 2200 meters. Staff have excel-
lent benefits and living conditions, including U.S. scale
salaries, overseas allowance, annual travel benefit to point
of hire and tax exclusions.
Please send curriculum vitae, description of experi-
ence, and addresses of three references to Personnel Office,
