SEVERAL STRUCTURAL METHODS FOR INCREASING THE PRODUCTIVITY OF DIGITAL COMPUTERS,

Abstract

Many structural methods of improving the productivity and operational potentialities of digital computers can be subdivided into two fundamental groups: the development of new structures of programing and initial languages and the development of structural schemes of interconnections between units in the computer. A tentative classification is offered of various structures widely used at present. The parallelism methods, that is, all the methods from joint elementary machine operations to simultaneous filling several programs belonging to different problems, are briefly examined. The following new concepts in the structural organization of digital computers are briefly considered: organization of a fixed structure, organization of a unitized structure, organization of a program-changed structure, and a self-organized structure.
