ABSTRACT
The ORACLE (Oak Ridge Automatic Computer Logical Engine) is a general purpose digital computer, designed and constructed at the Argonne National Laboratory for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Production of the major electronic units has been carried out by Technitrol Engineering Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The construction started in November, 1951. In logical design, it belongs to the parallel asynchronous type. The number system is binary with fixed binary point. The orders which can be executed by the machine can be classified as of the following types:
Arithmetic Memory and arithmetic unit transfer Control transfer Memory and auxiliary memory transfer.
A total of seventy-seven individual orders is provided.

An Evaluation of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Cray XT3
In 2005, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) received delivery of a 5294 processor Cray XT3. The XT3 is Cray's third-generation massively parallel processing system. The ORNL system uses a single-processor node built ...
Fingerprint Ridge Distance Estimation Based on Ridge Search
IJCBS '09: Proceedings of the 2009 International Joint Conference on Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Intelligent ComputingFingerprint ridge distance is a very useful parameter in AFIS (automatic fingerprint identification system), it can be used for fingerprint enhancement, identification or classification. In this paper, a new ridge distance estimation method based on the ...
