The NCR 315-RMC, released in July 1965, was the first commercially available computer to employ thin-film memory.This reduced the clock cycle time to 800 nanoseconds.It also included floating-point logic to allow scientific calculations, while retaining the same instruction set as previous NCR 315 and NCR 315-100.

Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...
Almost a full day was devoted to agreeing to name the standard "Small Computer System Interface", which Boucher intended to be pronounced "sexy", but ENDL's [11] Dal Allan pronounced the new acronym as "scuzzy" and that stuck. [12] The NCR facility in Wichita, Kansas developed the industry's first SCSI controller chip, the NCR 5385, released in ...
A modern consumer graphics card: A Radeon RX 6900 XT from AMD. A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor.
It was introduced by NCR in 1964 as part of the NCR 315 RMC computer, RMC for "rod memory computer". It was also used in their Century line. Like many similar concepts, notably twistor memory and thin film memory , rod memory was competing for the role of taking over from core when the first semiconductor memory systems wiped out the entire ...
The idea of accessing a video card's memory directly resurfaced with the introduction of the Scan-Line Interleave (3dfx SLI) technology, although this technology is aimed at connecting two equally powered and complete graphic cards to produce a single, increased performance visual output, and not e.g. directly interfacing TV tuner cards.
NCR 304 computer system Camp Pendleton, California. The NCR 304 computer, announced in 1957, [1] first delivered in 1959, [2] [3] was National Cash Register (NCR)'s first transistor-based computer. The 304 was developed and manufactured in cooperation with General Electric, [4] where it was also used internally. [5] Its follow-on was the NCR 315.
