This power has been controlled by valves, pistons, and other mechanical parts. Within the past decade considerable attention has been given, both in this country and in Russia, to the use of fluids for control and logic functions, and until recently these systems also employed mechanical moving parts. In 1960 the Diamond Ordnance Fuze Laboratory (now the Harry Diamond Laboratories) of the U. S. Army announced a fluid amplifier with no moving parts---a discovery which seems likely to revolutionize the whole field of fluid logic and control.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128099541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case where two or more scientific programs are in core at the same time, each needing the use of a SINE routine, a private copy can be provided for each program's own use, or one copy can be loaded for all to use. A message processing program that services multiple terminals can run into a situation where message A interrupts the processing of message B and because of priority considerations, message A must be processed immediately by the program. Again, the question of how many copies of the program are required in core occurs. Finally, a multiprocessing configuration with two or more computers sharing a common core memory may each be using the FORTRAN compiler. Each computer could have its own copy of the compiler or a single copy of the compiler could be executed by all computers concurrently. Intuitively, the provision of one copy of the routine or program appears more elegant.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"87 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131388065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This philosophy not only applies to simultaneous analog and digital computation, but also to a sequential use of these two means of computation. One such application is the use of digital computers in the programming and checking of analog computers, a task ideally suited to a digital machine and especially practical in an hybrid installation where the digital computer is most readily available to the analog programmer. HYTRAN, a system of software programs has been developed to provide quick digital assistance in the programming of the analog part of the HYDAC 2400 hybrid computer system, even to the analog programmer unfamiliar with digital computers.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121231318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital computers of that day were terribly slow, of small capacity and painfully primitive in their programming methods. It was usually the case when a digital check solution was sought for an incoming analog problem, that it was several months after the problem had been solved on the analog computer and the results turned over to the customer before the digital check solution made its appearance. The fact that the two solutions hardly ever agreed was another deterrent to the employment of this system.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"46 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127994204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
