Computer model of the Vector-06C. Vector-06C was created by Soviet engineers Donat Temirazov and Alexander Sokolov from Kishinev, Moldovan SSR.On 33rd National Radio Exhibition the design was honoured with the grand prize.
The Cray-1S, announced in 1979, was an improved Cray-1 that supported a larger main memory of 1, 2 or 4 million words. The larger main memory was made possible through the use of 4,096 x 1-bit bipolar RAM ICs with a 25 ns access time. [15] The Data General minicomputers were optionally replaced with an in-house 16-bit design running at 80 MIPS.
A 24-hour clock displayed on an oscilloscope configured as a vector monitor in X-Y mode with dual R2R DACs to generate the analog voltages. A vector monitor, vector display, or calligraphic display is a display device used for computer graphics up through the 1970s.
Vector editors are often contrasted with bitmap editors, and their capabilities complement each other.Vector editors are often better for page layout, typography, logos, sharp-edged artistic illustrations (e.g. cartoons, clip art, complex geometric patterns), technical illustrations, diagramming and flowcharting.
Vektor Grafix was founded by Craven and Danny Gallagher in 1986. Their first releases were home ports of the Star Wars arcade games. The Leeds-based company then went on to become a developer of mostly 3D simulation games and was eventually bought by MicroProse in July 1992, [1] becoming their development studio.
The REV 1.2 board [15] is built around the Microchip PIC 18F25K50. [16] With the REV 1.2 reprogramming the microcontroller is no longer possible, [17] and the functionality is now limited to keyboard and mouse emulation. REV 1.2 also drops the open source nature of the board design, and the new Makey Makey boards no longer can run stand-alone code.
The clock signal period was 1 microsecond (equivalent to a clock speed of 1 MHz), but the program speed averaged below 1,000 instructions per second due the many clock cycles needed for each operation and slow access to serial memory. [12] The machine was programmed in pure machine code using an array of buttons and switches. Output consisted ...
