RECENT JOURNAL ARTICLES COMPUTERWORLD - May 8, 1974 - "For Microprogramming Power - Microprocessor Fits Into Mini," - Copywright by Computerworld, Data General Nova and Digital Computer Controls D-116 users can incorporate into their minis a microprogrammable processor that performs any microprogram process in parallel with the normal processing of the minicomputers and at substantially higher speeds, according to Educational Data Systems (EDS). Using EDS' Micronova, typical speeds for four-word floating point decimal operations are up to 100 times faster than a Nova 1200 using software arithmetic, the firm said. For balance of article contact: Educational Data Systems, fornia, 92660. 2415 Windward Lane, Newport Beach, Cali- COMPUTERWORLD - May 15, 1974 - "Varian Has Firmware To Speed Fortran," - Copywright by Computerworld, Varian V70 users can have faster, more compact code under both Fortran IV and assembly language programs with a library of 23 microprogrammed routines, including byte and stack instructions, now available from Varian Data Machines. The routines in this firmware library, loaded into the system's writable control store, accelerate program run-times by decreasing the time needed by frequently performed functions. In Fortran, Varian noted, this would include floating-point operations, DO loop overhead and parameter passing. Speed
