VARIAN 73THE ALL-NEWCOMPUTERFOR THE NEWCOMPUTERAGE

For the better part of a decade, Varian620-series computers have paced theminicomputer industry. Each newmodel has represented a dramaticimprovement in performance, and anequally dramatic reduction in the dol-lars paid for that performance.

Now, with the introduction of theVarian 73, Varian Data Machines hasachieved a major step-function changein the power and potential of the mini-computer as a systems component.

The Varian 73 has been designed spe-cifically to meet the new, more sophis-ticated demands that have developedas users have gained experience inapplying minicomputers to thousandsof applications.

These demands have included fasterprocessing times, a more efficient andflexible instruction repertoire, ex-panded memories, a faster, more ver-satile input/output structure, simplerinterfacing between multiple proces-sors and memories.

The Varian 73 meets all these require-ments, with performance to spare.

Extendable ArchitectureThe Varian 73 is available with eithersemiconductor or core memories, orany combination of the two. Withmemory mapping (a future option) upto 262K of memory can be included inthe system. All memories are dual portfor fast interleaving of I/O and proces-sor functions. Built-in features allowmultiple central processors to sharememory, greatly simplifying the imple-mentation of a multi-processor system.

165-NanosecondMicroinstruction TimeThe Varian 73 has set a new standardfor processing speed. Microinstruc-tions are carried out in 165 nanosec-onds. With semiconductor memoryregister-reference instructions are

The Varian 73 is a microprogrammedcomputer, with 64-bit control wordsdictating the flow of data through a16-register processing section. Thispowerful combination permits thewriting of exceptionally fast and effi-cient programs. The computer canprocess all previous Varian 620programs, and with the addition of aWritable Control Store option, themicroprogram can be extended to meetany special system requirements.

completed in 330 nanoseconds, mem-ory-reference instructions in 660 nano-seconds. Cycle time for semiconductormemory modules is 330 nanoseconds:Cycle time for the core memory is 660nanoseconds. Direct I/O-to-memorydata transfers can take place at rates0 to 3.03 million words per second.

Off-The-Shelf Software andPeripherals

Compact, Reliable Packaging

Four Input/Output Techniquesthe designer and programmer have achoice of up to four different input/output techniques, depending on thedata rate required and the number ofperipherals on the interface. Dual-portmemories allow for highly efficientdirect-to-memory transfers.

The Varian 73 is an all-new computer,but it is fully supported with the exten-sive software and peripheral interfacesthat have been developed for Varian620-series computers. Immediatelyavailable are powerful operating-system software packages such asVORTEX and MOS. Varian 73 soft-ware also includes DAS macro-assem-blers for programs written in Varian620 language, higher level languagecompilers such as FORTRAN IV,BASIC, and RPG IV. mathematical anddata-conversion packages, and editing.debugging, and diagnostic programs.

The entire Varian central processor,including the microprogram read-onlymemory, is contained on a single cir-cuit board, 15.6 inches by 19 inches.Similar boards carry up to 8K of semi-conductor or core memory. All boardsplug into universal slots in either a 7-inch or a 14-inch chassis. A singlepower supply will accommodate sys-tems with up to 32K of core memory.Two types of consoles are available: aprogrammer's console with a full set ofcontrols and indicators, and an opera-tor's console with just the switchesneeded to start, stop, and control theprogram.

THE ALL-NEWVARIAN 73 . . .USER-ACCESSIBLEMICROPROGRAMMINGFOR SPEEDAND FLEXIBILITY

The Varian 73 has set a new standardfor speed and flexibility.

Data flow is controlled by hundreds ofmicroinstructions stored in a read-onlymemory. Execution time per microin-struction is only 165 nanoseconds. Andif that isn't enough speed and flexibil-ity, the user can add an optional Writ-able Control Slore to create his ownmicroinstruction set.

Processor Microprogram — The stand-ard Varian 73 microprogram consistsof 512 microinstructions, each a 64-bitword stored in the processor ROM.The 64 bits are divided into fieldswhich control the flow and manipula-tion of data throughout the machine. Asingle microinstruction can dictate anumber of different machine functions:register, memory and I/O transfers,arithmetic and logical operations, andtests on the conditions of registers.

User-Written Microprogram — Theprocessor microprogram can be sup-plemented by an optional WritableControl Store memory containingmicroinstructions written by the user.The standard Varian 73 microprogramis designed to decode and emulate thewidely used Varian 620 instruction set.Special microprograms can also bewritten, using the powerful 64-bitmicroinstruction format, to adapt theVarian 73 to special application re-quirements.

Sixteen General-Purpose Registers —Further programming flexibility is pro-vided by 16 general-purpose and 8special-purpose 16-bit registers, allaccessible to the microprogram.

Dual Memory Buses — Processorsmemories, and PMA (Priority MemoryAccess) I/O controllers are all connected to a common bus structure forfast data transfers and ease of expan-sion. Two parallel buses are providedallowing data transfer from a periph-eral to a 4K or 8K memory module, forexample, while the processor accessesa second memory module. Multipleprocessors, peripheral devices, and upto 262K words of memory can sharethe parallel buses. Advantages of thisunique structure are detailed on thefollowing pages.

THE ALL-NEWVARIAN 73 . . .DUALPORT MEMORIES,CORE AND MOS,IN AN EXTENDABLEARCHITECTURE

The Varian 73 has added a new dimen-sion to the architecture of computermemory systems.Both core and MOS memories areavailable in 8K modules, each pack-aged on a single board- All share acommon, dual bus structure, alongwith multiple processors and PMAcontrollers. Processors equipped withthe Memory Map option will be ableto address 262K of memory.

Core Memories — Cycle time for corememories is a fast 660 nanoseconds.The memories are available in 4K and8K modules.

MOS Memories — Semiconductormemories, with a cycle time of 330nanoseconds, are available in IK, 2K,4K. and 8K modules. They may be com-bined with core memories in any pro-portion. Addressing and programmingare identical for the two types of mem-ories. MOS memories are for optimumspeed and throughput; core memoriesfor optimum economy. A battery-pow-ered Data Save option may be added tothe power supply when semi-conduc-tor memory is included in the system.

Dual Ports — Both core and MOS mem-ories are provided with two fully im-plemented ports, each connected toone of two parallel memory buses. Inmultiple-memory systems, this meansthat one memory may be communicat-ing with a processor while another is

transferring data to or from anotherprocessor or an I/O device. Prioritiebetween the buses are implemented bymemory-control circuits in response toprogram instructions.

Memory Mapping — The Memory Maoption performs address relocation andmemory protection for up to 262Kmemory locations by translating the 15bit virtual memory address and a 4-bitkey into an 18-bit physical addressUp to 16 independent protection parti-tions may be simultaneously assignedAny user program may employ up to32K words of memory in 512-wordblocks. Completely protected, readonly, and common memory blocks maybe defined.

Memory Protect — The memory-pro-tect option prevents the program fromaccessing any 512-word segment ofmemory that has been "protected" bya mask stored in the option. The 64-bitmask provides protection for a full 32Kmemory block. The mask can beapplied, removed, and changed underprogram control.

Memory Parity — Another memoryoption checks the parity of every datatransfer on the dual memory bus. Twoparity bits are used, one for the B mostsignificant bits, the other for the 8 leastsignificant bits. This facilitates bytepacking and retrieval with a paritiycheck on each byte that is transferred

THE ALL-NEWVARIAN 7 3 . . .FOUR WAYSTO COMMUNICATEWITHPERIPHERALS

8

The Varian 73 gives the system de-signer four different ways to commu-nicate with peripherals and other datasources. The result is unprecedentedflexibility in selecting the I/O tech-nique that will provide the highest pos-sible data transfer rate at minimumcost in processor time.

All data transfers, except PMA, areover the party-tine I/O bus, with 16 bi-directional lines for addresses andfor data, plus an additional 14 lines fortiming, sense, and control signals.PMA transfers are direct to memory,with separate 16-line buses for addres-ses and data.

Priority Interrupt Structure — TheVarian 73 has a true hardware priorityinterrupt structure, expandable at lowcost to up to 64 levels, with automaticinterrupt identification. External con-trollers can all request interrupts andspecify the interrupt location via theaddress lines of the Varian 73 I/O bus.An optional Priority Interrupt Module(PIM) provides hardware priority ar-bitration and interrupt address (vector)generation for 8 levels. Up to 8 PIM'smay be interfaced to the I/O bus of aVarian 73 processor. Interrupts may beenabled or disabled individually or ingroups.

Programmed I/O — Programmed I/Ooperations are initiated by the centralprocessor and are used primarily tocontrol and sense the state of periph-

erals, to prepare controllers for othertypes of I/O transfers, and to commu-nicate with low-speed devices, such asa teletype. Any peripheral control!can also initiate a data transfer [or sig-nal its completion] by an interrupt tothe processor.Direct Memory Access (DMA) I/O-Direct data transfers between I/O busand memory are effected in the DMAmode. The technique is implementedby a Buffer Interlace Controller (BIC)option that stores the initial and finaladdresses of the data words to betransferred. The transfers are made ona "cycle stealing" basis. DMA transferscan occur at rates up to 333,000 wordsper second.

High-Speed DMA — Special controllines are provided for peripheral con-trollers that are able to operate at "highspeed" DMA rates, up to 1 millionwords per second. A similar BIC op-tion is used to implement transfersthis higher rate.Priority Memory Access (PMA) I/O -Data transfers at the full memory cyclyrate (3.03 million words per second, inthe case of a MOS memory] can beobtained through the PMA channel.PMA controller is loaded with the in-itial and final addresses of the datawords to be transferred. Controllerdata and address lines are connecteddirectly to the memory bus.

THE ALL-NEWVARIAN 73 . . .POWERFULOPERATING SYSTEMSAND SYSTEMSOFTWARE

10

Operating Systems — Two comprehen-sive software operating systems areavailable for use with Varian 73 com-puters: VORTEX and MOS.

Both systems incorporate a full reper-toire of utility programs, as well asDAS MR and FORTRAN IV languageprocessors. MOS also includes RPG IV.

VORTEX [Varian Omnitask Real-TimeExecutive] is a multi-programming sys-tem with special features designed forreal-time applications. A number ofdifferent tasks may be stored in themain memory or on a rotating memorydevice. These tasks are scheduled by aresident executive program that giveshighest priority to real-time "fore-ground" programs. Lower priority"background" programs are executedduring the idle-time intervals embed-ded in most real-time operations. Theeffect is to give the system the utilityof two computers for the price of one.

VORTEX also increases the efficiencyof any installation in which the com-puter is required to operate on a num-ber of different programs in sequence.The user simply establishes the priorityof the jobs to be executed; the systemautomatically schedules and runs theprograms without further operatorintervention.

control and job accountability; a sys-tem preparation program, system main-tenance program, source program edi-tor, object program debug package, anda program library.

MOS conserves main memory spacefor the user by allowing all softwareelements, except for a small ResidentMonitor, to be stored on the rotatingmemory or magnetic tape and loadedinto the computer only when needed.This applies even to the System Execu-tive which serves as the central controlelement.

When Real-Time Executive senses (1) that timeis available for the scheduling of a backgroundtask [following an initial operator request],the Job Control Processor is read into thebackground area of the main memory [2 and3]. The JCP responds to a directive from theSystem Input Device [4] and loads abackground task from either the rotatingmemory [5 and 6] or the System Input Device [7].

Varian MOS [Master Operating Sys-tem) is an integrated batch-processsoftware system designed to boost per-formance and simplify operation forthe medium-to-large-scale system user.

MOS is available in disc, drum, andmagnetic-tape resident versions, andincludes a complete I/O Control Sys-tem and System Executive.

Features offered by MOS are automaticidentification of both printed listingsand binary object output with the jobtitle and date to provide for program

SYSTEM SOFTWAREDAS AssemblersThree versions of the Varian 73 DASAssembler are available. DAS 4A isdesigned for a minimum system con-sisting of a computer with 4K memoryand a teletype. DAS SA providesexpanded capabilities for systems withat least 8K of memory, and utilizesadditional peripheral devices, such asa rotating memory, magnetic tape trans-port, card equipment, paper tape sys-tem, or line printer.

The third and most comprehensiveassembler is DAS MR, an integral partof the VORTEX and MOS operatingsystems. DAS MR is a macro assemblerwhich produces relocatable objectmodules that may be loaded into anyvector of the computer memory.

FORTRAN IVVarian FORTRAN IV is an integratedsoftware package that consists of asingle-pass compiler for interpretingFORTRAN statements, convertingthem to machine-language instructions,a relocating loader for assemblingobject modules, and a run-time pack-age that includes I/O drivers and a fullset of arithmetic and data-conversionsubroutines.

The package is available either as astand-alone version requiring only 8Kof memory, or as an integral part of theVORTEX and MOS operating systems.

11

BASICBASIC is an advanced version of theself-teaching system developed at Dart-mouth College. It is applicable to avariety of business and scientific appli-cations.

The programming language is simpleand easy to use. Source statements aretyped directly on a system console; ifany errors are entered, the computerimmediately responds and a correctioncan be made.

Extended BASICExtended BASIC expands the BASIClanguage to make it a more powerfultool for researchers. Special statementshave been developed to facilitate theinteraction between the computer andan external data-acquisition or process-control system. Other statements aredesigned to establish and control datafiles stored on a rotating memorydevice, and to facilitate changing ofprogram overlay segments. ExtendedBASIC has been developed to operatewith the ADAPTS hardware/softwaresystem.

RPG IVVarian RPG IV (Report Program Gen-erator) is a business-oriented languagefor preparing statistical data and tabu-lar reports such as inventory records,sales analyses, and personnel sum-maries.

The Varian RPG IV compiler is anadvanced version of RPG systems nowwidely used throughout industry forcommercial applications. It is available

either as a free-standing software pack-age, or under control of the MOS batchoperating system.

BEST

BEST (Basic Executive Scheduler andTimekeeper) is a real-time monitor thatautomatically schedules core-residentprograms according to the time of day,at fixed time intervals, or at the earliestopportunity.

BEST can operate with any Varian 73computer equipped with 4K of mem-ory, making it a valuable addition todedicated real-time computer systems.

Utility ProgramsVarian 73 utility programs are standardsoftware elements supplied (along withan Assembler) with every Varian com-puter.

BLD II is used to load object programsfrom a paper tape or TTY reader.

AID II is an on-line debugging programfor correcting programming errors.

EDIT is used to add, delete, and correctany portion of a symbolic program.

MAINTAIN II checks that all hardwareelements in the system are operatingcorrectly.

MATH LIBRARY is a comprehensiveset of mathematical function subrou-tines.

THE ALL-NEWVARIAN 73 . . .PACKAGED FORRELIABILITYAND EASE OFEXPANSION

12

The Varian 73 incorporates a numberof innovative packaging concepts, allaimed at increasing reliability and per-formance, as well as simplifying thetask of system expansion or change.

For the first time, a truly universalmainframe backplane has been pro-vided. All computer circuitry ismounted on large single-board mod-ules. 15.6 inches by 19 inches, insertedthrough the front of the computer. Themodules plug into a multilayer printed-circuit backplane which contains thedual memory buses and control sig-nals. Any module can be placed in anyslot position.

Connected to the front of the modulesare flexible cables with controlled im-pedance for the I/O interconnections(Programmed I/O, DMA, High-SpeedDMA, and PMA).

A valuable side benefit of this pack-aging technique is that no extenderboards or other devices that might alterthe computer performance are requiredfor servicing the individual modules.The module is simply moved to theuppermost slot and with the computerchassis drawn out on slides, servicedfrom the top.

The combination of large board pack-aging and extensive use of MSI andLSI circuits has reduced both the com-ponent count and the path lengths be-tween components. Wilh a minimumnumber of interconnections and board-to-board cabling, the Varian 73 repre-

sents an optimum design for reliableservice.Two Mainframe Chassis — The sys-tems designer has the choice of twoVarian 73 mainframe chassis. The 7-inch chassis provides 7 slot positionsplus space for two I/O controllers. The14-inch chassis increases the slot posi-tions to 17. A 32K MOS-memory sys-tem can be contained in the smallerchassis; a 120K system in the largerAdditional memory can be housed ina second 7-inch or 14-inch chassis. Ifspace is required for additional I/Ocontrollers, a 101/2-inch I/O ExpansionChassis is used.

Two Mainframe Consoles — Two typesof mainframe consoles are available.The Programmer's Console has all thecontrols and indicators needed to loadand debug programs. The Operator'sConsole has only those controls neededto start and stop the computer. A keyswitch provides security for the pro-gram being run.

Power Supply — A separate 51/4-inchpower supply can drive a full 32K sys-tem, core or MOS. A Power Failure/Restart mainframe option provideprotection against momentary loss ofreduction of ac power. A Data Saveoption can be added to provide stand-by battery power for MOS memorymodules.
