EXPERIENCE WITH THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF ANALOG-DIGITAL COMPUTING COMPLEXES BASED ON SMALL, MEDIUM,AND LARGE DIGITAL COMPUTERS,

摘要

Three versions of an analog-digital system (ADS) based on the Ural-1, Dnepr,and M-20digital computers were hooked up and tested. The MPT-9,MN-M, MNB-1and other analog computers were used. A weak Co60 -source and a radiometer were used as a white-noise generator. Time saving from using the ADS instead of a digital computer was from considerable to nil,depending on the type of problem and skillfullness of load distribution between the DC and AC. Problems tried on the ADS included: linear digital regulators,supervisory-control systems,homogeneous-reaction kinetics,digital control of batchers,and extremal controllers.
