 Computer
With the exception of quantum computers the implementation technology of a computer is not as important for classification purposes as the features that the machine implements.
General-purpose computers must be programmed with a set of instructions specific to the task they are required to perform and these instructions are collectively know as computer software.
Efforts are currently underway to develop optical computers that use light rather than electricity and the possibility that DNA can be used for computing is being explored.

 Atlas Computer (Manchester) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlas Computer of the University of Manchester became operational in 1962, as a joint development between the University, Ferranti and Plessey.
It was arguably the fastest computer in the world until the release of the CDC 6600.
It was said at the time that whenever it went offline half of the UK computer capacity was lost.

 Charles Babbage Institute: RESEARCH PROGRAM> Current research
Atlas salespeople claimed at the time that one commercial Ferranti Atlas computer could handle the workload of four IBM 7094s.
The Atlas supervisor, designed principally by David Howarth of Ferranti Ltd, managed the operating system software for the Atlas transistorized mainframe computer, built at Manchester University in England in the early 1960s.
Design of the Atlas supervisor was prompted by a realization in the late 1950s that the preliminary plans for the Atlas computer (the prototype was called MUSE, for “Micro-Second”), which was to process one million instructions per second, included insufficient mechanisms for the efficient batch processing (qv) of programs.

The computer center staff even started a project to write a FORTRAN compiler for it, but that was dropped in favor of using an existing language called Runcible on Tech's IBM 650 computer and ALGOL on the new Burroughs B220.
The first Atlas computer was developed because the U.S. government had a serious interest in secret codes.
The Atlas represented negative numbers in one's complement format where the negative is formed by subtracting each binary digit from one; thus +5 is 101 and -5 is 010 (namely 111-101).

The Atlas guidance computer had no facilities for developing programs, so they were written on the UDEC II, the Datatron, and the 220, using simulator software.
The computer was very reliable, and no Atlas launch was ever aborted due to computer failure.
The Burroughs experience with transistor computers was in many respects parallel to that of Sperry Rand.

 The ATLAS Computer:- The Technology
Computer aided design programs were developed to cope with the complexity of the design and manufacturing information.
For a while, in the early 1960s, it was the fastest computer anywhere until being caught by the early Control Data computers from Minneapolis.
Early in 1962, when most of the Manchester ATLAS was operational and a few privileged patient users were allowed on the machine, it was said that the computing power in the UK was halved, when it was switched off.

The aim of the Laboratory is to provide computing facilities on a large scale - with all necessary supporting services - to research workers in universities and government laboratories; more specifically, to be a place to which they could turn when faced with problems needing more computing power than their local installations could provide.
THE Atlas Computer Laboratory was set up by the British Government in 1961.

 New types of regional atlases (on the example of the Kraków Voivodeship Computer Atlas)
Of course, in both cases, the database is within the computer memory, however, in the case of the "computer atlas" the selection of information is adapted to a concrete thematic map, and for the GIS Atlas, to a concrete problem or question which often requires associating information (data) deriving from several different maps.
The computer atlas may be used on a PC with MGE-PC and Vista Map for Windows.

In addition to the Math Department's computer system, you may also find it useful to have VUNet account on the university's computer system, which is administered by ACIS (Academic and Computing Information Services).
For instance, it is possible to copy a file directly from the personal computer over to the departmental laserprinter (lpr) without first copying the file onto the hard disk of the departmental computer (Atlas, Artemis, etc.); this saves a tedious step.
By the way, faculty computers (Windows or Mac) that are connected to the network gain some nice capabilities if they have their software set up right.

 Mr. Wen Tsing Chow, 1919 - 2001.
The digital computer's basic system architecture was already in place by 1955, based on previous study programs related to the B-52 tail defense system, and the computer and guidance system was completed, operational, and in production by 1957 and used on the Atlas and Titan missile systems.
Chow's Atlas computer, now called the "Arma Micro," Arma's "third generation" computers, were selected originally for the Air Force's SLS (Space Launch System) Titan III booster guidance computer, the guidance computer on the MMRBM system, the Mobile Medium Range Ballistic Missile system, and other less well known missile programs.
The use of digital computers, now seen as obvious, was a novel, controversial, and untried concept at the time, due to their immense size and weight, huge power consumption, and severe lack of reliability.

This is an atlas of maps and graphic representations of the geographies of the new electronic territories of the Internet, the World-Wide Web and other emerging Cyberspaces.
Some of the maps you will see in the Atlas of Cyberspaces will appear familiar, using the cartographic conventions of real-world maps, however, many of the maps are much more abstract representations of electronic spaces, using new metrics and grids.
These maps of Cyberspaces - cybermaps - help us visualise and comprehend the new digital landscapes beyond our computer screen, in the wires of the global communications networks and vast online information resources.
