An auxiliary processing system for array calculations

The IBM 2938 Array Processor together with its access method (APAM) increases the processing power of SYSTEM/360 Models 44, G5, and 75 for operations on vectors and matrices. The auxiliary processing capabilities discussed have proved especially useful in such areas as seismic exploration, vibration analysis, turbulence research, and image enhancement. Because of the modular design of the present access method, it is possible to write signal processing subroutines that can perform certain common operations useful in these applications.
