Abstract

The B8500 Modular Data Processing system is the latest design in the rapidly growing family of Burroughs Modular Computers. As in previous modular systems, the Burroughs Corporation has found it expedient and efficient to utilize scratchpad memories to enhance the performance of the computer and other modules. This paper will describe in detail the application of multifunctional scratchpad memories in the computer module of the B8500 system.
