The Chippewa Operating System often called COS is the discontinued operating system for the CDC 6600 supercomputer, generally considered the first super computer in the world. The Chippewa was initially developed as an experimental system, but was then also deployed on other CDC 6000 machines. The Chippewa was a rather simple job control oriented system derived from the earlier CDC 3000 which later influenced Kronos and SCOPE. The name of the system was based on the Chippewa Falls research and The Chippewa Operating System often called COS was the operating system for the CDC 6600 supercomputer, generally considered the first super computer in the world.[1] The Chippewa was initially developed as an experimental system, but was then also deployed on other CDC 6000 machines.[2]. Bibliography.

The existing COBRA-IV-I code is the Control Data Corporation (CDC) CYBER version, which has limitations on the computer core storage and gives some inconvenience to the user interface. To solve these problems, we have converted the COBRA-IV-I code from the CDC CYBER mainframe to an Hewlett Packard (HP) 9000/700-series workstation version, and have verified the converted code. As a result, we have found almost no difference between the two versions in their calculation results. Therefore we expect the HP 9000/700 version of the COBRA-IV-I code to be the basis for the future development of an improved multichannel analysis code under the more convenient user environment.

In response to user needs 2 2/11/20 Pascal Developed by Nicolas Wirth. Generated machine code for the CDC 6000 series machines To increase portability, the Pascal-P compiler generates P-code for an abstract stack machine. One pass recursive-descent compiler Storage is organized into 4 areas: ◦ Code for procedures ◦ Constants ◦ Stack for activation records ◦ Heap for data allocated by the new operator. Procedures may be nested, hence, activation record for a procedure contains both access and control links. CDC 6000 series The first member of the CDC 6000 series Was the supercomputer CDC 6600, Designed by Seymour Cray and James E. Thornton Introduced in September 1964 Performed up to three million instructions per second, three times faster than the IBM Stretch, the speed champion for the previous couple of years. It remained the fastest machine for five years until the CDC 7600 Was launched. The machine Was Freon refrigerant cooled.

  • Use of High Perfo Nce Networks and Supercomputers Ime Flight Simulation
    USE OF HIGH PERFO NCE NETWORKS AND SUPERCOMPUTERS IME FLIGHT SIMULATION Jeff I. Cleveland EE Project Engineer 3 National Aeronautics and Space Ad I Langley Research Center Nampton, Virginia 23681-0001 ABSTRACT In order to meet the stringent time-critical requirements for real-time man-in-the-loop flight simulation, computer processing operations must be consistent in processing time and be completed in as short a time as possible. These operations include simulation mathematical model computation and data inputloutput to the shulators. En 1986, in response to increased demands for flight simulation performance, NASA's Langley Research Center (LaRC), working with the contractor, developed extensions to the Computer Automated Measurement and Control (CAMAC) technology which resulted in a factor of ten increase in the effective bandwidlla and reduced latency of modules necessary for simulator communication. This technology extension is being used by more than 80 leading technological developers in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Included among the commercial applications are nuclear process control, power grid analysis, process monitoring, real-lime simulation, and radar data acquisition. Personnel at LaRC are completing the development of the use of supercomputers for mathematical model computation to support real-time flight simulation. This includes the development of a real-time operating system and development of specialized software and hardwxe for the simulator network. This paper describes the data acquisition technology and the development of supek-eompu~ng for flight simulation. INTRODUCTION NASA's Langley Research Center (LaRC) has used real-time flight simulation to support aerodynmic, space, and hardware research for over forty years.

  • Computer Architectures and Aspects of NWP Models
    Computer Architectures and Aspects of NWP models Deborah Salmond ECMWF Shinfield Park, Reading, UK Abstract: This paper describes the supercomputers used in operational NWP together with the computer aspects of NWP models. The IFS from ECMWF and the UM from the UK Met Office are used to illustrate these aspects being typical examples of a spectral model and a grid-point model. The use of message passing and OpenMP to obtain highly scalable parallelised NWP models is shown. Finally code optimization is briefly described. 1. Introduction This paper describes aspects of high-performance computer architectures that are relevant to Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model performance. Over the years high-performance computers have been developed based on either scalar or vector processors1. Each has its own particular issues that need to be considered when writing optimized code. For vector processors it is most important to vectorise as much as possible of the code and this can give performance improvements of the order of ten times. Scalar processors have an intermediate cache between the processors and the memory and it is important to consider locality of data and data access and reuse. High performance computers now have a large number of processors and the NWP model code has to be parallelised in a scalable way to take advantage of this. Initially computers with multiple processors were made with all processors connected with equal access to a single shared memory, for example the CRAY C90. This was followed by systems with multiple processors each with its own memory and connected together by a high speed interconnect.
