The memory hierarchy of the 1A Processor consists of call/program stores, file stores, and an auxiliary data system utilizing magnetic tape. The call/program store is a 65,536‐word, 26‐bit‐per‐word memory system using a two‐wire, coincident‐current, ferrite‐core array as the memory medium, and is capable of operating with a 1.4‐μs read/write cycle time. The file store (fs) with its disk‐file memory provides the 1A Processor with a high‐performance bulk‐storage system. Each fs controller can control from one to four disk files to provide a maximum storage of 2.56 × 106 words. Two fss make up a file‐store community of 5.12 × 106 words of duplicated storage. The auxiliary data system (ads) provides a means for efficiently transferring data between the 1A Processor call‐ or program‐store memories and magnetic tape. The tape medium is used for inputting generic programs, office data, and trouble‐location information and for out putting billing, traffic, and error‐analysis data. The ads hardware consists of data unit selectors (duss) and tape frames (tfs).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
