Turnblade, Richard C. – 1970
The Mini-Computer is compared with the general purpose computer. On a performance basis the Mini-Computer shows several interesting comparisons with the System 360 computer. The Mini-Computer core cycle, instruction execution speeds, and disc operating speeds are quite similar to the much larger 360-30 and 40 while its magnetic tape speeds are…

Nunamaker, J. F., Jr.; And Others – 1973
A methodology is described for an automatic design system initially defined in terms of logical processes or program modules. Processes and files are grouped and reorganized in such a way as to produce an optimal design with respect to a specific target machine. Performance criteria for the optimal design are defined in terms of transport volume…

Johnson, Charles C.; Hodak, Gary W. – 1984
A disk sector utility program (called TRAX) was designed and developed since a computer aid capable of inspecting and modifying the byte data on a disk platter, independent of any other program or system, was not commercially available. This report: (1) provides an overview of the TRAX system; (2) briefly describes the major system options; and…

Larsson, Rolf; And Others – 1975
The file design of the search system part of an interactive search and editing system, 3RIP, is described. A scatter-stored and compact inverted file is used to search a primary file of up to 4 million records containing on the order of 10-E9 characters of text and numeric data. Searchable attributes are keywords, words or phrases in text, names,…

Hruska, J.; Burk, C. F., Jr. – 1971
The application of computer technology to storage and retrieval of geoscience data has increased markedly since about 1966, and has resulted in the publication of numerous papers describing various aspects of this work. Unfortunately, these are widely dispersed in the literature, many in relatively obscure journals, proceedings and other sources.…

Kehr, James E. – 1972
Intrex is an experimental bibliographic and full text storage and retrieval system which has advanced the concept of the on-line interactive search of a computer stored bibliographic data base and the on-line access to a microfiche document storage. The Intrex system includes a set of computer programs designed for information retrieval, a…

Where Have All the Ultras Gone? The Rise and Demise of the Ultrafiche Library Collection, 1968-1973.

Yerburgh, Mark R.; Yerburgh, Rhoda – Microform Review, 1984
Identifies factors undermining library phenomenon of "ultrafiche" collection. Proposal of concept by Rand Corporation (1968), publication of two prototype collections (Library Resources Inc.'s "Library of American Civilization," and National Cash Register's "PCMI Library Collections"), and forces having adverse effect on viability and longevity of…

Thiel, L. H.; Heaps, H. S. – Information Storage and Retrieval, 1972
Retrospective search of large data bases requires development of special techniques for automatic compression of data and minimization of the number of input-output operations to the computer files. The computer program should require a relatively small amount of internal memory. This paper describes the structure of such a program. (9 references)…
