Each processor had its own small memory linked with others through a flexible network that users altered by reprogramming rather than rewiring. The machine´s system of connections and switches let processors broadcast information and requests for help to other processors in a simulation of brain-like associative recall. Using this system, the machine could work faster than any other at the time on a problem that could be parceled out among the many processors. One of the first commercially produced computers, the company´s first customer was the US Navy. Introduction To Computers A computer is a machine or device that performs processes, calculations and operations based on instructions provided by a software or hardware program. It has the ability to accept data , process it, and then produce outputs. Large- scale distributed systems were first used for scientific and engineering applications and took advantage of the advancements in system software, programming models, tools, and...
