Pluribus Document 1: Overview

Severo M. Ornstein · 1975

Abstract : The Pluribus is a reliable, expandable, high bandwidth line of multi- resource computers originally developed for use as a switching node in the ARPA computer network. It can be configured with arbitrary amounts of memory and I/O tailored to suit the application; it is designed to survive failures and continue operation without human intervention even while repairs are in progress. This report, one of a set of nine volumes documenting the Pluribus line, provides a brief overview of the system as a whole. (Author)
