Abstract

Abstract. The low price of minicomputers makes them attractive for timeconsuming jobs which are only cpu-bound, like Monte Carlo simulations. At the H. C. Ørsted Institute a minicomputer with 12 k main memory has been connected to the multiprogrammed RC4000 computer. All program development is done on the RC4000 and so is the control of the minicomputer.
