Design of a Low-cost Character Generator for Remote Computer Displays
(1966-03)
A requirement exists for a low-cost remote display terminal with alphanumeric and line-drawing capabilities for use with time-shared computer systems. This thesis, conducted as part of the overall remote display design ...
Traffic Control in a Multiplexed Computer System
(1966-07)
This thesis describes a scheme for processor multiplexing in a multiple user, multiple processor computer system. The scheme is based upon a distributed supervisor which may be different for different users. The processor ...
An On-line System for Algebraic Manipulation
(1966-12)
This thesis describes an approach to the problem of programming a computer for algebraic manipulation. The motivating threads of the work are first picked up in Chapter I. To test the descriptive intuitions urged normatively ...
A Low-cost Output Terminal for Time-shared Computers
(1967-03)
This report describes a low-cost remote terminal to provide switch-form output from a time-shared digital computer. The terminal consists of a modified model 35 KSR teletype and a local memory unit. The unit is independent ...
Syntax-based Analytic Reading of Musical Scores
(1967-04)
As part of a larger research project in musical structure, a program has been written which ""reads"" scores encoded in an input language isomorphic to music notation. The program is believed to be the first of its kind. ...
Absenetee Computations in a Multiple-access Computer System
(1968-08)
in multiple-access computer systems, emphasis is placed upon serving several interactive users simultaneously. However, many computations do not require user interaction, and user may therefore want to run these computations ...
An Integrated Hardware-software Systems for Computer Graphics in Time-sharing
(1968-12)
This report describes the ESL Display Console and its associated user-oriented software systems developed by the M.I.T. Computer-Aided Design Project with Project MAC. Console facilities include hardware projection of ...
The OPS-1 Manual
(1964-05)
The recent attainment and continuing development of personally accessible computer facilities have opened another chapter in the use of machines by man. A number of current research efforts, including Project MAC at M.I.T., ...
Program Structure in a Multi-access Computer
(1964-05)
A multi-access computer (MAC) system consists of processing units and directly addressable main memory in which procedure information is interpreted as sequences of operations on data, a system of terminal devices ...
The MAC System: A Progress Report
(1964-10)
The notion of machine-aided cognition implies an intimate collaboration between a human user and a computer in a real-time dialogue on the solution of a problem, in which the two parties contribute their best capabilities. ...
