THE LEVIATHAN TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR THE PHILCO 2000 COMPUTER

Abstract

The technological system, the Leviathan Executive Command study, currently being programmed for the Philco 2000 computer is described. It is a simplified version of a system already operational on the IBM 7090. This system is adapted to the limitations of the 2000 computer. While the new system therefore lacks several of the functions of the previous one, the programming required for it is in some ways even more sophisticated. What justifies the elaborate effort of adapting Leviathan to the 2000 is that the new programs take advantage of the special buffering equipment now coming into operation. Together with the special Leviathan EXCOM equipment designed for the Laboratory, the new programs permit the Leviathan project to operate in real time with live subjects. (Author)
