NCR 315-RMC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The NCR 315-RMC, released in July 1965 by NCR Corporation, was the first commercially available computer to employ thin film memory. This reduced the clock cycle time to 800 nanoseconds. It also included floating-point logic to allow scientific calculations, while retaining the same instruction set as previous NCR 315 and NCR 315-100.

The thin film was wrapped around "rods" to allow faster reading and writing of memory.
