with hardware floating-point processor, Scientific Instruction Set (SIS) and Vector Instruction Set (VIS) firmware on a single board. The floating-point capability is im- plemented through three LSI chips developed in HP's CMOSISOS technology. Unlike most processors requiring a separate board for hardware floating point, the A900 floating-point chips are designed as an integral part of the CPU for maximum performance and efficiency. When executing the single- precision Whetstone benchmark (Bl), the A900 is capable of 1,377,000 instructions per second. Each A-Series Automator takes full advantage of the identical HP 1000 software and hardware - including the base instruction set, I10 cards, operating system, packaging and peripherals -to provide levels of compatibility and transportability for greatly expanded performance capabilities and up- ward migration.
