Report on evaluation of research and development of superhigh-function electronic computers; Chokoseino denshi keisanki no kenkyu kaihatsu ni kansuru hyoka hokokusho

Abstract

Described herein is development of superhigh-function electronic computers.This project was implemented on a 6-year joint project, beginning in FY 1966, by the government, industrial and academic circles, with the objective to develop standard, large-size computers comparable with those of the world's highest functions by the beginning of the 70's. The computers developed by this project met almost all of the specifications of the world's representative, large-size commercial computers, partly surpassing the world's machine. In particular, integration of the virtual memory, buffer memory and multi-processor functions, which were considered to be the central technical features of the computers of the next generation, into one system was a Japan's unique concept, not seen in other countries. The other developments considered to have great ripple effects are seen in LSI's, and techniques for utilizing and mounting them and for improving their reliability. Development of magnetic discs is another notable result for the peripheral devices. Development of the input/output devices was started to correspond to inputting, outputting and reading Chinese characters, which are characteristics of Japan. The software developed has sufficient functions for common use and is considered to be the world's leading, large-size operating system, although evaluation thereof largely awaits the actual specification  More>>
