Early computers

Autonetics

Autonetics was a division of North American Aviation that produced various avionics but is best known for their inertial navigation systems used in submarines and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

See Autonetics Recomp II and Autonetics

In computer architecture, bit-serial architectures send data one bit at a time, along a single wire, in contrast to bit-parallel word architectures, in which data values are sent all bits or a word at once along a group of wires.

Computer

A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation).

Drum memory

Drum memory was a magnetic data storage device invented by Gustav Tauschek in 1932 in Austria.

FLOPS

Floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance in computing, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations.

See Autonetics Recomp II and FLOPS

NOP (code)

In computer science, a NOP, no-op, or NOOP (pronounced "no op"; short for no operation) is a machine language instruction and its assembly language mnemonic, programming language statement, or computer protocol command that does nothing.

North American Aviation

North American Aviation (NAA) was a major American aerospace manufacturer that designed and built several notable aircraft and spacecraft.

Punched tape

Five- and eight-hole wide punched paper tape Paper tape reader on the Harwell computer with a small piece of five-hole tape connected in a circle – creating a physical program loop Punched tape or perforated paper tape is a form of data storage device that consists of a long strip of paper through which small holes are punched.
