Design of a Shipboard Computer System for NRL Oceanographic Research Ships.

Abstract

A shipboard computer facility to support oceanographic research at NRL has been designed and is currently being developed. This shipboard computer system consists of dual, identical minicomputers; one computer is used for the real-time acquisition of oceanographic data and navigation, and the second computer is used for data processing, general purpose computing, and spectrum analysis using a hardware fast Fourier analyzer. Program and data storage on each computer is accomplished by a random access disc and dual magnetic tape units.
