text:
The FPS AP-120B was a 38-bit, pipeline-oriented array processor manufactured by Floating Point Systems. It was designed to be attached to a host computer such as a DEC PDP-11 as a fast number-cruncher. Data transfer was accomplished using direct memory access. Processor cycle time was 167 nanoseconds, giving a speed of 6 MHz. Since it could present two floating point results per cycle, one from the adder and the other from the multiplier, a capacity of 12 Megaflops was claimed for the processor.
