offered in a dual processor configuration with floating point
processor, shared memory, and four port memory modules.
- It was
the first mapped memory machine by SEL
- Tthe Shared memory also contained IO Processors, BTCs, and CGPs.
- The CGP was a computer
graphics processor that could branch, store place and branch, nest
subroutines and interrupt the cpu to report waypoints. The graphic
