Many of these techniques have inherent drawbacks for very fast read operation, such as the necessity for rewriting, in the case of conventional switching approaches, or the lack of truly non-destructive properties. The memory system described in this paper solves these problems by utilizing the BIAX memory element, with its inherently non-destructive readout properties, in a system organized to minimize circuit delays and utilize transmission line properties for the various signal paths. In this manner it is possible to achieve random read access times of 85 nanoseconds maximum since most inductive components are incorporated into the various transmission lines with the lines being terminated in their characteristic impedance. Not only is the memory designed for very high readout rates in the non-destructive mode, but it is electrically alterable with conventional linear select methods in five microseconds or less.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"75 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":"115072279","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}

Although derived from FORTRAN and ALGOL, CORC has a radically simpler syntax than either of these, since it was designed to serve university students and faculty. Indeed, most of the users of CORC are \"laymen programmers,\" who intermittently write small programs to solve scientific problems. Their programs contain many errors, as often chargeable to fundamental misunderstandings of the syntax as to \"mechanical errors.\" A major objective of CORC is to reduce the volume of these errors. This objective has been achieved to the following extent: the average rate of re-runs for 4500 programs submitted during the fall semester of 1962 was less than 1.1 re-runs/program.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"10 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":"128221315","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}

That is, the instruction repertoire can be modified to include associative instructions, the control logic can be modified extensively, and additional registers can be added as necessary. Neither integration can be considered the optimum since the latter involves costs that are out of proportion with the advantages, and the former involves undue transfer time penalties and more complex programming.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"110 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":"115728562","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}

It was designed to give the individual scientist or engineer an easy, direct way of solving his small numerical problems without a large investment in learning to use an operating system, a compiler, and debugging tools, or in explaining his problems to a professional computer programmer and in checking the latter's results. The ease and directness of JOSS is attributable to an interpretive routine in the JOHNNIAC computer which responds quickly to instructions expressed in a simple language and transmitted over telephone lines from convenient remote electric-typewriter consoles. An evaluation of the system has shown that in spite of severe constraints on speed and size of program, and the use of an aging machine of the vacuumtube era, JOSS provides a valuable service for computational needs which cannot be satisfied by conventional, closed-shop practice.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"17 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":"116162541","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}
