Über einen Zeitraum von über 30 Jahren wurden in den USA 23 Rechenzentren auf Basis von jeweils zwei AN/FSQ-7 betrieben, die das Herz von SAGE, dem Semi Automatic Ground Environment bildeten, das für die Luftraumüberwachung der USA und (in Teilen) Kanada zuständig war.One of the most impressive computer systems ever was the vacuum tube based behemoth AN/FSQ-7, which was the heart of the ''Semi Automatic Ground Environment''. Machines of this type were children of the Cold War and had a tremendous effect in politics. They also generated a vast amount of spin-offs which still shape our world. This book focuses on the technological achievements and details of this marvelous machine and of its predecessor Whirlwind. The various developments, ranging from magnetic core memory to data transmission via telephone lines, are covered in detail with schematics, circuit descriptions and small programming examples. This book is a treasure trove for those interested in the technology of early digital computers and those interested in the impact these machines had and still have on our current computer systems.AN/FSQ-7 (Computer)Command and control systemsUnited StatesHistoryCold WarElectronic books.AN/FSQ-7 (Computer)Command and control systemsHistory.Cold War.355.3/3041Ulmann Bernd1038182Pappert GerhardBrunell RonMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459755503321AN2476421UNINA00726nam0-2200253 --450 991029184990332120250217134415.020181121d1978----kmuy0itay5050 baitaITy 001yySaggio storico sulla città di PisticciDino D'AngellaPisticciI.M.D. Lucana1978444 p.ill.23 cmPisticci (Matera)Storia914.577222itaD'Angella,Dino592137ITUNINAREICATUNIMARCBK9910291849903321914.57 DAND 01bibl.FLFBCFLFBCSaggio storico sulla città di Pisticci1538532UNINA01245nas 2200421-a 450 991014533550332120240413015825.02295-0451(CKB)954925545250(CONSER)---91645420-(DE-599)ZDB2532520-6(EXLCZ)9995492554525019900801a19909999 --- aengtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBelgian journal of zoologyBrussels Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor Dierkunde1990-1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedPrint version: Belgian journal of zoology.
