Optimal Sequencing of Serial Memory Transfers
ResearchPublished 1960
A discussion of a problem, solved iteratively in a previous study, of finding an optimal sequence of word transfers on a serial memory drum. This paper presents an improved method that requires only a few simple adjustments after the initial trial sequence is formed. Mathematically it is of interest in that it is a special form of a traveling-salesman-type problem that can be easily solved.
