    Described below are two formulas for computing the average time
    required to perform multiplication and division. These formulas are
    based on the new, improved addition and subtraction speeds.
    Multiplication
    Average time in microsec = 16 (2N2 +26N +6NY +Y +4) 
      where N = number of digits in multiplier
            Y = number of digits in multiplicand
    
    This formula assumes all fives in the multiplier and is based on
    steps 3 and 4 of the multiplication routine illustrated in the
    programming reference manual. The steps used to position the factors
    are not included in the formula. These steps can vary depending on
    the requirements of the individual program.
    
    Example:  3 digit multiplier by 5 digit multiplicand
              Using the formula we find:
    
    Average time = 16 (2(3 ) + 26 (3) + 6 (3x5) + 5 + 4)
                 = 16 (18 + 78 + 90 + 5 + 4)
                 = 16 (195)
                 = 3,120 microsec or 3.120 millisec
    
    Division
    Average Time in microsec = 16 (7RQ + 4OQ + DQ + Q2)
    where D = no. of digits in the dividend 
          R = no. of digits in the divisor 
          Q = no. of digits in the quotient
    
    In this formula the Quotient digits are assumed to be all fives and
    formula is based on steps 5, 6 and 7 of the division routine in the
    programming reference manual. The set-up and decimal alignment steps
    have not been included since these steps may vary in accordance with
    the requirements of the individual program.
    
    Example: 6 dividend digits by 3 divisor digits
            giving a quotient of 3 digits
            Using the formula we find:
    
     Average time = 16 (7 (3x3) + x+0(3) + (6x3) + (32) )
              = 16 (63 + 120 + 18 + 9)
              = 16 (210)
              = 3,360 microsec or 3.360 millisec

      Medium           Speed
    Punch Card Reader  300 - 400 cards/min
    
    Read speed depends on number of columns read and amount
    of processing time required per card.
    
    For example, assume a maximum of 35 millisec of process time
    required per card read. Also, all 80 columns are being read.
    Under these conditions, a 300 card/min rate may be
    maintained.
    
    When only 40 columns are being ready and up to a maximum
    of 35 millisec of process time is necessary, a rate of 400
    cards/min may be maintained.
    
      90-Column Data Processor
      Medium                Speed
    Punch Card Reader      300 - 400 cards/min
    
    Read speed depends on the number of frames and amount of
    processing necessary per card. (A frame is made up of an
    upper column and the corresponding lower column of a 90
    column card).
    
    When reading 45 frames (90-columns) and using up to 35
    millisec of process time, a card feeding speed of 300
    cards/min may be maintained.
    
    In the above example if the frames are reduced to 23 (46
    columns), a card feeding speed of 400 cards min can be
    maintained.

    odd printing positions are located in the odd rows, while the characters
    which print in the even printing positions are located in the even rows
    in the following manner:
    
      Odd "A" Row A A A A    Prints in ODD  position
     Even "A" Row  A A A A   Prints in EVEN position
      Odd "B" Row B B B B    Prints in ODD  position
     Even "B" Row  B B B B   Prints in EVEN position
    
    Each odd or even row time is one half the 2.38 millisec character time,
    or 1.19 millisec.
    
    The fact that the characters are arranged in odd and even rows has no
    special significance in computing printing speeds.
    
    When printing is initiated by a Print-Execute instruction, the processor
    is interlocked until all characters in print storage have been printed
    and cleared. As the rotation of the print drum causes a given character
    to move into printing position, print storage is scanned for the
    presence of that character. If a coincidence between the drum character
    in position to be printed and any of the characters stored in memory is
    detected, the characters in memory are printed and their print storage
    locations are cleared to spaces. After all the data in print storage has
    been printed and cleared, an interval of 1.19 millisec is required to
    detect that print storage is in a cleared condition and to release the
    processor interlock.
    
    Therefore, print-interlock time in milleseconds, i.e., the time required
    to complete a printing operation, is equal to 2.38N + 1.19 where N is
    equal to the number of characters that must pass the print position to
    completely print a line.
    
    It is to be noted that it is the number of characters that must pass the
    print position, not the number of characters that are to be printed,
    that determines the print time. The number of characters that must pass
    the print position for printing any given line, is determined by the
    location of those characters on the drum. To print all of the numerals
    (0 - 9) requires that ten characters pass the printing position. To
    print the two characters ampers and (&) and 4, requires that the print
    drum makes one-half revolution, which is equivalent to 32 character
    times, since these two characters are located opposite each other on the
    drum. The respective print time using the formula 2.38N + 1.19; for each
    of these examples is as follows:
    
    Print 0 - 9: 10 char x 2.38 millisec + 1.19 millisec = 24.99 millisec
    
    Print &, 4: 32 char x 2.38 millisec + 1.19 millisec = 78.35 millisec
    
    Because the print dawn is asynchronous with the processor, the position
    of the print drum will not be known when the first Print Execute is
    given. Therefore, the print interlock time, when printing the first
    line, may exceed the computed interlock time. For example, it has been
    previously established that ten character times are required to print
    the numerals
 
    0 - 9. However, during the printing of the first line, the Print-Execute
    instruction might be initiated when the numeral 9 is in position to be
    printed. After the 9 has been printed, the print drum must make
    virtually a complete revolution to complete the printing of the
    remaining numerals, 0 - 8. After the first line has been printed the
    print section will become synchronous with the processor program.
    
    A printing rate of 400 lines/min can be obtained if the sum of the print
    time, computed as described above, and the greater of the two overlapped
    compute and form spacing times does not exceed 150 millisec.

    The first five bits of the instruction, bits 30 through 26, are
    the operation code. The operation code specifies the
    function which the Central Processor is to execute.
    
    Bits 25 through 23 are the index register (X) portion of the
    instruction. The concept of indexing is discussed below
    under "Registers and B-Boxes".
    
    Bit 22 is reserved. It must always be zero.
    
    Bits 21 through 7 are the main store address (M) portion of
    the instruction. This portion specifies the store address of
    the operand. If an operand is
    

BRL 1964, UNIVAC 1050, starting page 0281
 
    
    greater than one character in length, the M portion refers to the
    least significant character of the operand. There are two exceptions
    to this rule: The Zero Suppress and the Block Transfer instructions.
    Because of the way these two instructions operate, the M portion
    specifies the most significant character of the operand.
    
    Bits 6 through 1 comprise the detail field. The contents of the
    detail field vary with each instruction. Depending on the
    instruction, the detail field may specify operand length, tetrad
    number, a comparison indicator, an arithmetic register, or number of
    bits. The function of the detail field is discussed thoroughly in the
    description of the UNIVAC 1050 instruction repertoire.

    Registers and B-Boxes
    
    Two arithmetic registers of 16 characters each
    
    Seven index registers. An index register contains 15 bits. The
    primary function of an index register is to vary the operand address
    specified in an instruction. If an index register is specified in an
    instruction, the effective address of the instruction is determined
    by adding the contents of the specified index register to the address
    specified by the M portion of the instruction. However, neither the
    contents of the index register nor the M portion are changed, except
    in some cases of the Fix Tetrad instruction. Location and length of
    operands are specified by each instruction. The first 256 characters
    of storage are grouped into 64 four-character fields (tetrads) and
    can be so addressed.
    
    To illustrate indexing, assume an instruction which stores a value in
    location 100. Assume that the instruction specifies indexing by index
    register 1, which contains the value 20. When the instruction is
    executed, the value being stored is placed in 100+20, or 120. After
    the instruction has been executed, the M portion of the instruction
    still specifies location 100, and'index register 1 still contains 20.
    
    The value of indexing is that one set of instructions may be made to
    process several similar items of data located in different areas of
    main store. Instead of writing as many sets of processing
    instructions as there are items of data in store, the programmer need
    write only one set of instructions using index register modification.
    In order to perform the same processing on several items of data
    located in different parts of store, all that is necessary is to
    change the value of the index register.
    
    Almost all instructions may specify index register modification. If
    indexing is not required in an instruction, the index register
    portion of the instruction must contain binary zeroes.

    tape, process and print; write tape, process and print.
    
    UNIVAC 1050 is a solid state, character addressable
    computing sub-system. It has a basic magnetic core memory
    of 8,192 six-bit alphanumeric characters that can be
    expanded in modules of 4,096 characters to a maximum
    capacity of 32,768. The 1050 was designed to supplement
    the parallel processing capabilities of the UNIVAC III, 490
    Real Time, and 1107 Thin Film Memory computing
    systems.

BRL 1964, UNIVAC 1050, starting page 0283
 



      Auxiliary off line functions include conversion of
     data from punched cards to magnetic tape and from
     magnetic tape to punched cards or printed hard copy.
      A program interrupt technique allows the concurrent
     operation of two input/output programs. Modular
     construction of the 1050 system permits the user to
    
    select only those components needed to fill his
    requirements. Rental price ranges from $5,700 to
    $10,850 per month depending on configuration.
    Purchase prices range from approximately $285,000
    to approximately $500,000. Delivery is one year from
    receipt of order.

                         RELIABILITY, OPERATING EXPERIENCE
    
    Design of the CP-642B (1212 is based on knowledge and experience
    gained on the 1206 CP-642A computer.
    
    Design mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) is 200 hours. However, it
    is anticipated that actual field use will result in substantially
    higher figures.
    
    MTBF for 1206 in the field is now over 1,000 hours in some cases.
    
    The physical packaging and appearance of the CP-642B is very
    similar to the UNIVAC 1206. It is designed to meet MIL-E-16400.
    
                          ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND REMARKS
    
    outstanding features include a real-time clock, buffer I/0, thin
    film control memory with 0.67 microsecond access, 16 I/0 channels
    built in square root command and twice the speed of the 1206 with 4
    microsecond read/restore speed (cycle time.
    
    Other system advantages include militarized construction, very high
    rate of I/0 transfer with a capability of 8 microsec/30-bit word,
    asynchronous input and output of data is possible on all channels.
    
    Resistance to shock, vibration and humidity and special inter-
    computer channels make multi-computer communication possible.
    
    Repertoire of 62 basic instructions with conditional branching and
    modification.
    
    Average instruction time of 8 microseconds.
    
    Average memory access time of 4 microseconds.
    
    Up to 16 I/0 channels which may be modified in modules of 4 for a
    fast interface 8 microseconds/ 30-bit word transfer or a standard
    interface 24 microseconds/word. Special inter-computer channels are
    also available.
    
    The CP-642B (UNIVAC 1212 computer is compatible with all
    peripherals (both militarized and commercial) hereto developed for
    the UNIVAC 1206 computer. In addition, it will operate with newer
    peripheral printers. The 1000-A and the IBM compatible UNIVAC 1240
    magnetic tape handlers, the CS-1 compiler and routines developed
    for the 1206 will operate on the CP-642B.
    
    In addition, this computer is basically twice as fast as the 1206.
    
    FUTURE PLANS
    
    Miniaturized and faster versions are under development.

    An air conditioner is not required for the computer.
    Primary power is 28 V DC.
    
    Size and weight includes central computer, memory system,
    full missile system and stellar tracker interface, and a self
    contained power supply.
    
    RELIABILITY, OPERATING EXPERIENCE
    
    The techniques employed in the design, range from the basic
    integrated circuitry to the connectorless final assembly.
    
    The equipment support requirement, the cost of which often
    exceeds that of the original equipment by several times, is
    reduced drastically.
    
    A field maintenance philosophy, in which the complete
    computer can be changed as a unit, can be adopted because of
    the high reliability and small physical size. The need for
    highly trained technicians in the field is thereby virtually
    eliminated. On the other hand, depot repairs can be
    conducted to the level of a single low-cost chip or logic
    element.
    
     ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND REMARKS
    
    Outstanding features include small size, weight and power
    requirements, medium speed, and high reliability.
    
    Unique system advantages include full solid state
    microelectronic circuits, a thin film memory computer with
    general purpose characteristics makes the computer highly
    versatile for complex system application.
    
    The computer features the latest advances in microelectronic
    circuits, metallic thin film memories, and multilayer,
    photoetched interconnections. It is designed for simple and
    inexpensive fabrication and for reliable operation under
    severe environmental conditions. It is particularly suited for
    application as a guidance and control unit within complex
    aerospace systems. While the design is characterized by a
    maximum packaging density, the computer retains full access
    for ready maintenance.
    
    The high capability and general purpose logic of the computer
    assures a large margin of safety in meeting most of the
    computational requirements of contemporary and planned
    aerospace systems. A logical system growth potential is thus
    available by the addition of appropriate interface and memory
    storage capacity. Additionally the basic computer has a
    sufficiently small size, weight, and power requirement so that
    modular expansion of the input/output or storage capacity,
    imposed by advanced or increased requirements, minimizes
    the size increase and would not encroach appreciably upon
    predetermined physical constraints.
    
    The computer is sealed in a case. No particular protection is
    required.
    
    A unique interface design is required for each different
    application of the computer. The computer is intended to
    have a fully integrated interface in one integral structure
    without the necessity of system connection through special
    interface boxes.
    
    FUTURE PLANS
    
    The storage capacity may be varied as a modification
    dependent upon system storage requirements.

    of Ferractor amplifiers and transistors. The Solid-State
    consists of a central processor, a readpunch unit, a 
    high-speed card reader and a high-speed printer.
    Automatic coding techniques simplify programming. 
    The Solid-State system may be ordered with magnetic
    tape units for either the 90-column system or the 
    80-column system.

    ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND REMARKS
    
    Outstanding features include multiword transfers-drum-to-
    core and core-to-drum), six additional index registers, and
    full alphanumeric compare.
    
    Program interrupt is optional, a second synchronizer is
    available for simultaneous operations. The following
    operations can progress simultaneously: processing, card
    reading (high-speed reader), reading or punching paper tape,
    printing a line of data, reading or punching (read-punch
    unit), reading or writing a block of tape data or a block of
    Randex Data.
    
    If two synchronizers are employed, reading and writing on
    tape can also proceed simultaneously.
    
    The Model II Solid State System, like the Model I, is a
    medium-priced system capable of handling a wide range of
    data processing applications. Characterized by a main
    memory composed of both magnetic drum and magnetic core,
    it is fully buffered, allowing for efficient simultaneous
    input/output computer operations. Although the system is
    tape-oriented, an online card reader, a read/punch unit, as
    well as printer may be included.
    
    A basic Modell II central processor includes 14,080 digits of
    core storage and 2,600 words of drum storage, as well as 9
    index registers. As far as input/output devices are
    concerned, a minimum system may be expanded to include
    20 tape units, a card reader, a card read/punch unit, and a
    high-speed printer. Also, a maximum of ten Randex drum
    storage units may be included, each unit of which has a
    capacity of 24 million digits.
    
    A system including the basic processor, four tape units, and
    a printer rents for 6,970.00. "Typical" systems rent for
    approximately $8,500.00.
    
    A complete software package is available which includes: an
    Assembly System S4, FORTRAN II Algebraic Compiler, a
    Report Generator PROGENY, and a variety of Utility
    Programs.

   APPLICATIONS
    
    The computer is designed primarily for solving real time control
    problems by combining, under program control, a general purpose
    computer and two digital differential analyzer sections. The
    computer can be used as the central computer in control and
    weapons systems. It has the capability of simultaneously
    extrapolating points along many functions, computing new initial
    conditions, accepting and processing time varying data from 90
    different sources, and con
    
    trolling 47 different output devices. The GP and DDA sections
    operate simultaneously and independently, however the DDA program
    can be controlled, monitored, and modified by the GP section under
    GP program control.
