The memory reported in this paper utilizes a plated-wire (Rod) memory device operating in a 512-word 36 bit per word memory system. The DRO mode is employed and operation at a 100-nanosecond read-write cycle time is achieved. In order to attain this high speed, modified concepts of memory circuitry have evolved affecting every aspect of the memory design. Integrated circuit techniques have been employed for all logic and sensing functions and may be utilized to break some of the economically imposed limitations on contemporary memory circuit design. The potential for low-cost batch fabrication of monolithic and hybrid circuits requires utilization of these techniques to secure cost and performance improvements. Accordingly, the design for this memory makes maximum use of the existing and projected capabilities of integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":297471,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '66 (Fall)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115557010","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}

The system includes a small digital computer connected to a large-screen buffered display equipped with a light pen. A draftsman uses the light pen to assemble a circuit schematic on the display screen; simultaneously, a description of the schematic is entered into the computer memory. Thereafter, the draftsman can use the light pen to layout detailed artwork for fabrication of the circuit mask, subject to automatic checking against the stored schematic. When the layout on the display screen is complete, the corresponding mask artwork will be drawn by the computer via its digitally-controlled plotter. The graphical manipulations on the display screen, the automatic checking operations, and the control of the digital plotter are all part of a FORTRAN program that employs graphical subroutines to communicate with the light pen, display, and plotter.","PeriodicalId":297471,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '66 (Fall)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132660663","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}

From the Michigan study it became evident that a fast analog computer together with a small digital computer and a modest interface could obtain Monte Carlo solutions at rates competitive with standard finite-difference methods.","PeriodicalId":297471,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '66 (Fall)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126879882","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}
