A high level disc controller
(1979)
Since the emergence of the digital computer in the 1940s, computer architecture has been largely dictated by the requirements of mathematicians and scientists. Trends have thus been towards processing data as quickly and ...
An integrated payroll-pension system
(1977)
An integrated payroll-pension system designed specifically for commercial users with limited computer resources is presented. This system combines in a single system the usual functions of both a payroll system and a pension ...
The design and implementation of an image processing system
(1978)
Three of the branches of image processing are touched upon herein: image capture, enhancement and display. Image capture here means 'the making available of an image for further processes to be carried out on it'. This is ...
Evaluation of a multiprogramming time sharing system through simulation.
(1975)
The thesis describes the design and implementation of a simulation model. The model is patterned after the EXEC-8 multiprogramming time sharing operating system on the UNIVAC 1106 computer at the computer centre of the ...
A fast procedure for generating random numbers by a modification of the Marsaglia-Maclaren method
(1974)
Marsaglia and Maclaren combined two linear congruential generators in order to produce a pseudo random number sequence uniformly distributed in the range [0,2³⁵]. Their method is a considerable improvement compared with ...
Implementation of a structured PL/I subset compiler
(1974)
The thesis describes the design and implementation of a PL/I subset compiler which produces a hypothetical stack code as output. The compiler was based on a Pascal compiler developed by N. Wirth and U. Amman of Eidgenössische ...
Analytical differentiation by computer using a Symmetrical List Processor
(1972)
The Symmetrical List Processor SLIP; developed by Professor Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT, was implemented with considerable modifications and additions on the University of Cape Town computer. A package to perform automated ...
