10-5-10-7 cent/bit storage media, what does it mean?

Published: 04 June 1973 Publication History

Abstract

This paper will discuss the various advanced mass memory techniques and will attempt to put them in perspective as to the reasons why the approaches are being pursued. The techniques to be covered will include systems based on tape, the various laser activated systems, and the holographic memory approaches. At least one of these approaches is directed at a homogeneous replacement for the entire memory hierarchy of the present day system. Other random access memories can reduce the need for conventional main frame memory if the system programmer properly writes his operating system. The low cost (10-6 cents/bit) memories will permit the economic storage of large data bases for a variety of users and will force the system architect to solve the large storage management problem for the mini computer user.
