  • Abstract
    The ZAM-41 is a medium-sized, high-speed, parallel, binary computer with the word length of 24 bits and the internal storage capacity from 8192 to 32,768 words. It is destined mainly for data processing, but it may also be used for scientific computations and for real-time control. The full effect of multiprogramming has been obtained on the above computer by means of a small amount of hardware and an appropriate supervisor program. The problem of mutual interference of concurrently performed programs has been particularly taken into account.
