Hosier, W. A.

Scope and Contents MIT DIC 6889. Project Whirlwind Memo M-2361. Four proposals are outlined for using a 64 x 64 = 2¹² -register memory in MTC, which was designed to have only 11 address bits. The first three involve very little extra equipment: I. Division of Memory into 32 x 32 quadrants elected by bank-switching instruction II. Operating as a 2048-word memory, with 2048 additional registers subject to limited access on only two or three instructions III. Use of a full 12-bit address by cutting...

MIT DIC 6889. Project Whirlwind Memo M-2414. To help settle some of the questions raised by the prospect of having a 4096-register magnetic memory in MTC (See Memorandum M-2361), this meeting of MTC personnel and programmer was arranged. Opinion was heavily in favor of a bank-switching instruction which could include drum fields as banks. Certain other features desirable from a programming standpoint were also brought up.
