The Design And Implementation Of A Tutorial Program To Perform Symbolic Mathematics, Richard Derek Otieno Jan 1983

The Design And Implementation Of A Tutorial Program To Perform Symbolic Mathematics, Richard Derek Otieno

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to design and implement a program that could be used for a drill in symbolic mathematics. The scope of the program with respect to the range of problems that it solves is limited to selected types from elementary algebra, trigonometry, differential calculus, and integral calculus. The program is designed, not only to give solutions (answers), but also to provide several of the intermediate steps leading to the final result.

FORMAC73 and PL/1 are used to implement the program. FORMAC73 is a system and a language for manipulating mathematical expressions, symbolically. The facilities of PL/1 …


A Comparison Of Processor Technologies, Eddie R. Wachter Jan 1983

A Comparison Of Processor Technologies, Eddie R. Wachter

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to present a discussion of the technology implementation and design of four very high performance mainframe computer systems. The systems evaluated are:

Amdahl 580 Series

CDC 170 Series 800

IBM 308x Series

Univac 1100/90 Series

Included in this evaluation is a survey of the technology used, its characteristics, packaging and performance. Each system component is evaluated on the basis of design philosophy, technology, and the total system design with regards to reliability, availability, and performance.
