Quantitative Evaluation of Alternative Military Computer Architectures.

Abstract

This report provides a summary of the quantitative evaluation of alternative military computer architectures. The problem studied under this effort was two pronged; the development of techniques which would facilitate the quantitative comparison of computer architectures independently of the way in which the architecture was implemented and the development of methods for specifying computer architectures such that the original implementors are not needed to re-implement a compatible version of the architecture. A form was developed for the English language specifications and six of these specifications were developed. Their titles are listed in the publications section. These English specifications are to be used with the ISP descriptions to form as complete a specification as possible. (Author)
