Abstract

From the time of its early planning phases the SEAC program at the National Bureau of Standards has had a dual purpose. One objective has been, of course, the provision of a tool for use in the solution of problems in calculation, but a second and equally important aspect is the use of this equipment to provide experience with which better tools can be designed in the future. Thus about one-third of SEAC's time during the past year has been used for the testing out of new equipment in order to obtain design experience for further development.
