    Data Processing with Unit Record Equipment in Iceland

    Data Processing with Unit Record Equipment in Iceland Óttar Kjartansson (Retired) Manager of Data Processing Department at Skýrr, Iceland [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents an overview of the usage of unit record equipment and punched cards in Iceland and introduces some of the pioneers. The usage of punched cards as a media in file processing started 1949 and became the dominant machine readable media in Iceland until 1968. After that punched cards were still used as data entry media for a while but went completely out of use in 1982. Keywords: Data processing, unit record, punched card, Iceland. 1 Hagstofa Íslands Hagstofa Íslands (Statistical Bureau of Iceland) initiated the use of 80 column punched cards and unit record equipment in Iceland in the year 1949. The first ma- chinery consisted of tabulating machine of the type IBM 285 (handled numbers only), the associated key punch machines, verifiers, and a card sorter. See Figures 1 and 2. This equipment was primarily used to account for the import and export for Iceland. Skýrr (Skýrsluvélar ríkisins og Reykjavíkurborgar - The Icelandic State and Munici- pal Data Center) was established three years later by an initiative from Hagstofa Íslands, Rafmagnsveita Reykjavíkur (Reykjavík Electric Power Utility), and the Medical Director of Health of Iceland as was described in an earlier article [3].

    Computing Science Technical Report No. 99 A History of Computing Research* at Bell Laboratories (1937-1975) Bernard D. Holbrook W. Stanley Brown 1. INTRODUCTION Basically there are two varieties of modern electrical computers, analog and digital, corresponding respectively to the much older slide rule and abacus. Analog computers deal with continuous information, such as real numbers and waveforms, while digital computers handle discrete information, such as letters and digits. An analog computer is limited to the approximate solution of mathematical problems for which a physical analog can be found, while a digital computer can carry out any precisely specified logical proce- dure on any symbolic information, and can, in principle, obtain numerical results to any desired accuracy. For these reasons, digital computers have become the focal point of modern computer science, although analog computing facilities remain of great importance, particularly for specialized applications. It is no accident that Bell Labs was deeply involved with the origins of both analog and digital com- puters, since it was fundamentally concerned with the principles and processes of electrical communication. Electrical analog computation is based on the classic technology of telephone transmission, and digital computation on that of telephone switching. Moreover, Bell Labs found itself, by the early 1930s, with a rapidly growing load of design calculations. These calculations were performed in part with slide rules and, mainly, with desk calculators. The magnitude of this load of very tedious routine computation and the necessity of carefully checking it indicated a need for new methods. The result of this need was a request in 1928 from a design department, heavily burdened with calculations on complex numbers, to the Mathe- matical Research Department for suggestions as to possible improvements in computational methods.

Yeh This research was supported in part by Singer-Link Research Assistant Scholarship in Computer Science and by Grant NGR-21-002-206 from the National Aeronautics and Space.Administration. Abstract An Input-output Control System (IOCS) initiates and controls the input and output processes of an operating system, thereby making it unnecessary for the user to recode any of these processes. Input-Output Control Systems usually,perform the following functions: (l)'file and buffer handling for the creation and maintenance of the file, the -" buffering of the input-output data, and the blocking or deblocking of the records; (2) input-output scheduling for the examination of the result of an I/O activity and the determination of the next I/O activity; (3) generation of the actual I/O programs, including #e channel programs. This report presents a tree-structure design of an IOCS, using double-buffers. The design includes a set of macro instructions and a set of algorithms. There are three levels in the tree-structure: the first level deals with file handling and buffering; the second level with I/O scheduling; and the third level with the device drivers.

Hine The attached paper contains a review of CERN's needs from its central computing facilities, both in the near future and as far as 1969-1970. It describes possible ways in which these needs might be met within the budget forecasts, and suggests an optimum way to proceed. The scientific policy is to be discussed at the Scientific Policy Committee meeting on 8th March. If the policy line is cleared at that meeting, the Finance Committee could start discussion of the contractual implications at its meeting on 10th March. The Finance Committee would not be pressed to give final decisions at that meeting about contract adjudications, but those decisions will be needed in the near future. 66/348/5 CERN/SPC/220 EXTENSIONS TO THE CERN COMPUTING FACILITIES 1. Introduction The need to continue the development of computing facilities at CERN in order to keep pace with the rapidly growing use of com• puting and digital techniques in high-energy physics has been ex• plained on several occasions to the Scientific Policy Committee and the Finance Committee, and money has been reserved in the future budget forecasts for this purpose. A review of our needs has been made recently in the light of a year's experience of use of the CDC 6600 and associated equipment, and this paper describes the conclusions and the policy we propose to follow.
