Abstract

Magnetic tape files are becoming of increasing importance in data processing applications. Rapid access to these files in a random fashion is often necessary, but is difficult to achieve because the data processing machine is usually occupied in performing other computations.This paper describes the applications, uses, and design of a special-purpose computer for retrieval of information from large magnetic tape files. The machine makes it possible to obtain information from the large file rapidly and in a random manner without requiring special programming and without disturbing the schedule of the main data processing center.
一种小型的专用数据检索系统
磁带文件在数据处理应用中变得越来越重要。以随机方式快速访问这些文件通常是必要的,但很难实现,因为数据处理机器通常被用于执行其他计算。本文介绍了一种用于从大型磁带文件中检索信息的专用计算机的应用、用途和设计。该机器可以快速、随机地从大文件中获取信息,而不需要专门的编程,也不干扰主数据处理中心的日程安排。
