FLOPAK: FLOATING POINT PROGRAMING PACKAGE,

Abstract

FLOPAK is a Packard-Bell 250 Computer semi-automatic, floating-point programing system which may be operated simultaneously in either of two modes. The first is a non-time optimized mode which may be used by inex perienced coders; the second mode is a high-speed, fully time-optimized floating-point arithmetic system which an experienced programer may use in real-time computations and in general, single precision calculations. It is the only PB-250 floating-point system available which may be used in real-time control. The system was originally designed to solve a real-time communication problem.
