Although the purpose of this paper is to describe the Philco Advanced System and the design and application considerations that gave rise to it, it will be necessary to review in some detail the Philco 213 System. The two systems are quite similar in concept and organization, and differ only in three respects: 1. Speed---The 213 System operates in the vicinity of one million single-address instructions per second for each of one to four processors; the objective for the Advanced System will be at least four times that speed. 2. Technology---The 213 uses present-production discrete-component circuits, and ferrite cores for both main memory and bulk memory; the Advanced System will use integrated circuits, thin-film main memory, and ferrite core bulk memory. 3. Vocabulary and Unit Organization---The Advanced System will be totally upward-program-compatible from the 213, but will contain additional facilities both in machine language and in internal organization of system units.
