Large computer systems: new architectures
A review from November 1978 of high speed computer architectures is presented using the specific examples of the TI ASC, Burroughs BSP, CDC STAR-100, CRI CRAY-1, ICL DAP and FPS AP-120B. The architectural design solutions adopted by these different computers are analysed in terms of memory size and...

| Sumario: | A review from November 1978 of high speed computer architectures is presented using the specific examples of the TI ASC, Burroughs BSP, CDC STAR-100, CRI CRAY-1, ICL DAP and FPS AP-120B. The architectural design solutions adopted by these different computers are analysed in terms of memory size and bandwidth, vector processing style, scalar processing power, input/output and context switching. Software problems and the vectorization of FORTRAN programs are briefly touched upon. |
