The FLOCO-V Symbolic Matrix Transiator is a parallellogic load-and-go assembly and transmission program evolved in formulating the machine analysis of multlenergy transport theory for the IBM-7090 Data Processing System. The capabilities of thls compact (67-card) deck which motlvated its development include: full utilization of both dual-channel and dual-buffer parallel logic on all input and output transmission; full utilization of automatic channel trapping on all transmission errors, with inclusion of automatic re-try and erasure corrective measures; mixedmode loading flexibility; automatic transmission and conversion of matrix arrays having as high as twenty-two input-and-access indices and seven output indices; symbolic-binary intermediate assembly-- combining symbolic block bimensionality, symbolic addressing, symbolic decrementation, and symbolic operation at the object problem level with fast binary-tape loading, fast final assembly involving no table search, full-density memory packing, and complete load-and-go modification flexibility; automatic output labeling; asynchronous accrual and buffered binary-tape output of peripheral-punch card images; parallel-logic binary transmission routine, under automatic error control, designed for high-speed iterative tape storage and core loadlng; and predecessor compatibility, to avoid source-program obsolescence.
