Casual Articles - History of the Computer - Core Memory Part 2 of 3
The internet is flooded with an unlimited amount of websites, fresh ideas and free content and even now as we speak is growing at an unbelievable rate. Knowing all this, do you still wish to build a successful article website? The chances of success sound slim, right?Well it shouldn’t because it actually isn’t that hard. I’ll get straight into it and tell you step by step the main paths I took to accomplishing my popular article website.First things fi
If you are still with me, now remember we were looking at the core plane for one bit. The other 6 bits in the stack are connected up in the same way. The X and Y address lines are continued through each plane, so that the same core location is selected in each plane. This gives a 7-bit (core) selection for each of the 4K addresses.
Another point we have discovered here, is how an address works. In this case of a core memory of 4K, we will need 128 address lines. These form the X- and Y-address lines, and are decoded from a 12-bit binary address. For example, address 0 would have all bits at
Social bookmarking is one of the hottest trends on the internet right now. Millions of surfers are using these sites to collect information and not necessarily search engines. Furthermore this trend is expected to continue to rapidly grow in the months and years ahead.For that reason, if you are marketing anything on the internet, you should be taking advantage of this.What is social bookmarking?Social bookmarking is when an individual saves l
As you are probably aware, we 'write' data to memory, and 'read' from memory. In order to write data to core memory, we must set the magnetic field in the core to be in a certain direction. To do this we have wires passing through the core through which we can pass a current. The action is similar to that in an electric motor, where the current in the coil induces a magnetic field, which causes the motor to turn. We are not going into electromagnetism in detail here, just to say that a magnetic field will occur when we pass a pulse of electricity through the wire.
Following from this, we will need another wire through the core to provide a means of reading what the data stored in the core is. You will, of course, have realised that, once more, we have a classic case of 'binary'. The core can be in one of two states, switched one way or the other, which we can identify as 1 or 0.
We are not finished yet! As mentioned above, a core plane represents 4K (4,096) addresses for one bit of the 7-bit character. Looking at, say, the plane for bit 0, we have a matrix of 64x64 cores arranged in 64 rows for each of 64 columns.. In order to select a particular core, or address, we can run a wire through each of 64 cores in the first row, another wire through the 64 cores in the second row, and so on, until we have 64 wires, one for each row. We can call these the X-address lines. Also we can run a further 64 wires through the 64 columns of cores in the matrix, and call these the Y-address lines. Now we can use one X-line, and one Y-line to select a particular core.

Arizona drunk driving is one of the most common and deadly mistakes in Arizona while driving. Defensive driving schools which have courses approved by the State government and DUI/DMV like Arizona defensive driving school provides the best escapes DUI arrests in Arizona. There are basically two Arizona drunk driving charges: 1) Driving while impaired. 2) Driving with an alcohol content of 0.08 or higher within 2 hours of driving. Under the act

Some franchise agreements require that the franchisee must also participate full time in the franchised business operation. Or in some cases the franchisor may employ managers to run the franchised business operation provided they have completed the franchisor's training course. Generally the franchisor will train both the owner and the owners manager during the initial training as per be confidential operations manual and stipulations into franchise agreements.As mentioned above, a core plane represents 4K (4,096) addresses for one bit of the 7-bit character.

The property information in India is unorganised. Property search in India is probably the toughest in the world. The country and its wherewithal on the subject are quite unorganised. If you are looking for a property in the region of your choice in India you have no choice but to make time for travelling to reach the place, the area and the locality of your choice or your budget. You need to camp at the place for a few weeks and then return to it second, the third a

These form the X- and Y-address lines, and are decoded from a 12-bit binary address. For example, address 0 would have all bits at 0, or 0000 0000 0000. An address of 1000 0000 0001 would be decimal 2048 + 1=2049. The range is 0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111, equivalent to 0 to 4,096 decimal. Bit values 1 to 32 would form the X-address (0-63) and bit values 64 to 2048 would form the Y-address. The address lines are decoded by logic from the 12 bits. From our previous look at AND gates and inverters, you could work out what the logic would look like to decode an address of, say, 64. This is not a compulsory exercise!
In Part 3 we will look at how we read and write in core memory.
