Abstract

The TX-2 is a large scale digital computer designed and built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory utilizing new memory and circuit components and some new logical design concepts. The computer will be applied as a research tool in scientific computations, and in data-handling and real-time problems. The design of the computer reflects not only the characteristics of the components available, but also the nature of the intended applications. This paper explains the functional and organizational aspects of the computer which are important from the user's point of view.
