CDC 1604 (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The CDC 1604 was a 48-bit computer designed and manufactured by Seymour Cray and his team at the Control Data Corporation (CDC). The 1604 is known as one of the first commercially successful transistorized computers. (The IBM 7090 was delivered earlier, in November 1959.) Legend has it that the 1604 designation was chosen by adding CDC's first street address (501 Park Avenue) to Cray's former project, the ERA-UNIVAC 1103. A cut-down 24-bit version, designated the , was shortly thereafter produced, and delivered to NASA. The first 1604 was delivered to the U.S. Navy Post Graduate School in January 1960 for applications supporting major primarily for weather prediction in Hawaii, London, and Norfolk, Virginia. By 1964, over 50 systems were built. The CDC 3600, which added five op codes, succeeded the 1604, and "was largely compatible" with it. One of the 1604s was shipped to the Pentagon to DASA (Defense Atomic Support Agency) and used during the Cuban missile crises to predict possible strikes by the Soviet Union against the United States. A 12-bit minicomputer, called the CDC 160, was often used as an I/O processor in 1604 systems. A stand-alone version of the 160 called the CDC 160-A was arguably the first minicomputer. (en)
IL CDC 1604 era un mainframe a 46 bit progettato da Seymour Cray per la Control Data Corporation. Il 1604 è ricordato per essere stato il primo computer basato su transistor ad aver avuto successo commerciale. Il nome del progetto era formato dal nome del precedente sistema 1103 progettato da Cray con l'aggiunta di 501, in numero civico della società. Il 1601 comunque aveva un'architettura simile a quella del 1103, sebbene fosse più potente del 1103. Venne prodotta anche una versione ridotta a 24 bit chiamata . Il primo 1604 venne acquistato dalla US Navy nel 1960 per gestire le operazioni dei alle Hawaii, a Londra e a Norfolk in Virginia. Nel 1964 più di 50 sistemi erano stati venduti. Il successore del 1604 fu il CDC 3600. Un minicomputer chiamato CDC 160A venne realizzato utilizzando i processori di I/O del sistema 1604. Il CDC 160A probabilmente è il primo minicomputer commerciale della storia. (it)
