The control data STAR-100
Charles J. Purcell · 1974
The CONTROL DATA STAR-100 (STring-ARray) Computer is a very large, general purpose, high speed computing system. The STAR-100 computer utilizes integrated circuitry, ferrite core memory, 400 hz power and freon cooling in the hardware implementation. The logical design of the computer combines stream processing, virtual addressing, hardware macro instructions, segmented (pipeline) arithmetic units and a 256-word high speed register file to perform arithmetic and logical operation on discrete or structured data elements (Figure 1).
