http://mailcom.com/besm6/ During the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project the processing of Soyuz orbit parameters was accomplished by a BESM-6 based system in 1 minute. The same computation for the Apollo was carried out by the American side in 30 minutes. --- The CPU had all its registers represented on the front panel by the neon lights; there were 8 48-bit cache registers neatly aligned - a perfect way for the kernel to communicate with operators "if everything else fails". Today we have to count beep signals from the BIOS.
