Scientific Calculating System with a Number-Oriented Microprocessor Sequenced by a Single Component Microcomputer
C. Dwayne Ethridge, Gary M. Worth · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science · 1978
A scientific calculating system for large distributed-task processing systems and for small isolated intelligent data acquisition and instrumentation systems is established with a number-oriented microprocessor sequenced by a single component microcomputer. A MOS/LSI number-oriented microprocessor provides the scientific calculating capability with Reverse Polish Notation data entry. Input data sequencing, computation processing, intermediate result comparison, answer display and/or answer feedback to master processors is controlled by a single component microcomputer.
