论文摘要
从1967年到1974年，在阿姆斯特丹的核研究所（IKO）安装了一台电脑X8计算机，主要用于在线和离线评估实验数据，这一应用程序与其“兄弟”（X8）截然不同。在此期间，核检测系统“ BOL”正在运行以研究核反应。 BOL检测器体现了一个新的大胆概念。它由大量最先进的检测单元组成，该单元安装在核颗粒束靶标周围的球形布置中。两个微型计算机对实验进行了数据采集和控制，并支持了获得的数据的在线视觉显示。与微型计算机联网的X8计算机允许快速的高级数据处理和分析。实验性核物理和编程中的开创性工作原来是一种令人惊讶的良好组合。对于具有X8和微型计算机的网络，开发了高级软件层，以有效且灵活地编程广泛的数据处理。
From 1967 to 1974, an Electrologica X8 computer was installed at the Institute for Nuclear Research (IKO) in Amsterdam, primarily for online and offline evaluation of experimental data, an application quite different from its `brother's', X8's. During that time, the nuclear detection system `BOL' was in operation to study nuclear reactions. The BOL detector embodied a new and bold concept. It consisted of a large number of state-of-the-art detection units, mounted in a spherical arrangement around a target in a beam of nuclear particles. Two minicomputers performed data acquisition and control of the experiment and supported online visual display of acquired data. The X8 computer, networked with the minicomputers, allowed fast high-level data processing and analysis. Pioneering work in both experimental nuclear physics as well as in programming, turned out to be a surprisingly good combination. For the network with the X8 and the minicomputers, advanced software layers were developed to efficiently and flexibly program extensive data handling.
