Gr (Grader) Grade Storage and Retrieval System

Starting with the spring semester of 1987, Gr (Grader) will replace Gsr as the preferred grade management system. Gr, originally developed by Douglas Comer in the CS department, has been tested at EE for the past six months.

Gr is superior to Gsr in several ways:

• access time is 2-3 times faster
• working with large data bases is 5-10 times faster
• handles up to 100 different assignments reliably
• able to manipulate individual data items

Gsr will be phased out and deleted from all ECN machines after the Spring semester. All people interested in using Gr should see their site specialist for for ECN document #73 Grader.
