TRENDS IN COMPUTER HARDWARE.

Abstract

The capabilities of elements of data processing systems which might be expected to be economically available about 1971 are described. This description is based on an extrapolation by the writer of the present state-of-the-art. Systems are hypothesized containing these capabilities in their parts. It is shown that these systems have capabilities inherent in the hardware which are now expected to be provided only by sophisticated software developments. It is emphasized that software system designers should anticipate hardware capabilities which will be available at the time when their software systems are expected to be available. (Author)
