Atlas logic module
Atlas was the fastest computer in the world—for a while. It introduced the concept of “virtual memory,” using a disk or drum as an extension of main memory. This is one of the 500 logic modules used in each Atlas.

Atlas是世界上最快的计算机 - 有一段时间了。它引入了“虚拟内存”的概念，使用磁盘或鼓作为主内存的扩展。这是每个Atlas中使用的500个逻辑模块之一。
Atlas Does the Heavy Lifting
Bristling with 60,000 transistors, 300,000 diodes, and 40 circuit board types, the Atlas Computer vied with IBM’s “Stretch” as the fastest supercomputer of the early 1960s.
A joint project of England’s Manchester University, Ferranti Computers, and Plessey, Atlas debuted in 1962, nine years after Manchester’s computer lab began exploring transistor technology.

阿特拉斯重磅举重
阿特拉斯计算机采用60,000个晶体管，300,000个二极管和40种电路板类型，与IBM的“Stretch”竞争，成为20世纪60年代早期最快的超级计算机。
英国曼彻斯特大学，Ferranti Computers和Plessey的联合项目，Atlas于1962年首次亮相，这是曼彻斯特计算机实验室开始探索晶体管技术九年之后。

Kilburn helped design sophisticated computers at Manchester from 1947 (the "Baby") to the early 1970s (the MU5). The last of the many honors he received before his death in 2001 was being made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum.
