  The Atlas
While in its early stages Kilburn talked to several potential users of large computers, the design specifications from these meetings included the desire for an instruction speed approaching one order per microsecond and the need to attach a large number of peripherals of various types.
By 1959 the computer had been renamed the Atlas and was subsequently developed as a joint University/Ferranti venture under Tom Kilburn.
Atlas was inaugurated on the 7th December '62.

 The ATLAS Computer:- The Technology
The Atlas computer burst onto the scene, in Manchester, during the early 1960s.
Computer aided design programs were developed to cope with the complexity of the design and manufacturing information.
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.

 Charles Babbage Institute: RESEARCH PROGRAM> Current research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
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.
Atlas salespeople claimed at the time that one commercial Ferranti Atlas computer could handle the workload of four IBM 7094s.

 Atlas Autocode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atlas Autocode's syntax was influenced by the output device which the author had available, a Friden Flexowriter.
When AA was ported to the KDF9 computer, the character set was changed to ISO and that compiler has actually been recovered from an old paper tape by the Edinburgh Computer History Project and is available online, as is a high-quality scan of the original Atlas Autocode manual.
Atlas Autocode's second-greatest claim to fame (after being the progenitor of Imp and EMAS) was that it was the original "Compiler Compiler" of which "Yacc" was a later derivative.

 Atlas - Atlas Van Lines Ready to Swat Y2K Bug With Updated Systems for the New Millenium
The mainframe was one of the toughest systems to conquer because it was developed in the 1960s and 70s (during which time it was common practice to save expensive disk space by creating date fields without centuries).
To ensure that all aspects of the system were ready for Jan. 1, the MIS team had personnel from each Atlas department identify the types of business scenarios they encounter on a day-to-day basis.
Atlas is the nation's fourth-largest van line, and ranks as the third-largest carrier of household goods.

 Unisys History Newsletter v3n3
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 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.

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.

 SW Computer Facilities:Atlas/ti Linking Files
The files are dragged one by one from the Windows Explorer into the text-window of the ATLAS main window by way of draganddrop (they are then visible as well as linked) or are dragged into the primary list-window (on the upper left).
The major drawback is that the renamed file must be newly linked to the project since ATLAS is by default searching for the file with the old name.
Now you need to specify the number of the PD where to insert the active PD. An even simpler approach is to select the desired text in the primary-text list-window and drag it to a new location while keeping the left mouse button pressed.
