AN/USQ-20

The AN/USQ-20 computer.

The AN/USQ-20, or CP-642[1][2][3] or Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS), was designed as a more reliable replacement for the Seymour Cray-designed AN/USQ-17 with the same instruction set. The first batch of 17 computers were delivered to the Navy starting in early 1961.[4]

A version of the AN/USQ-20 for use by the other military services and NASA was designated the UNIVAC 1206. Another version, designated the G-40, replaced the vacuum tube UNIVAC 1104 in the BOMARC Missile Program.

Technical

The machine was the size and shape of an old-fashioned double-door refrigerator, about six feet tall (roughly 1.80 meters).

Instructions were represented as 30-bit words in the following format: 

  f  6 bits   function code 
  j  3 bits   jump condition designator 
  k  3 bits   partial word designator 
  b  3 bits   which index register to use 
  y  15 bits  operand address in memory

Numbers were represented as 30-bit words. This allowed for five 6-bit alphanumeric characters per word.

The main memory was 32,768 words of core memory.

The available processor registers were:

  • One 30-bit arithmetic (A) register.
  • A contiguous 30-bit Q register (total of 60 bits for the result of multiplication or the dividend in division).
  • Seven 15-bit index (B) registers (note: register B0 is always zero).

List of tallest destroyed buildings and structures in the United Kingdom

This is a list of the tallest destroyed buildings and structures in the United Kingdom. The list consists only of free standing structures; the numerous guyed radio masts and towers that have been demolished or destroyed are excluded. In addition, the list includes only those buildings and structures that exceeded a height of 80 m (260 ft); around 200 largely residential buildings over 50 m (160 ft) tall have been demolished across the UK since the late 1990s.[1] ...

Circle packing in an equilateral triangle

Two-dimensional packing problem Circle packing in an equilateral triangle is a packing problem in discrete mathematics where the objective is to pack n unit circles into the smallest possible equilateral triangle. Optimal solutions are known for n < 13 and for any triangular number of circles, and conjectures are available for n < 28.[1][2][3] A conjecture of Paul Erdős and Norman Oler states that, if n is a triangular number, then the optimal packings of n W...
