Abstract
The Harvest System is a large-scale data processor designed for maximum performance in handling extremely large amounts of data in primarily non-arithmetic operations. It is being built by IBM under contract with the Government and incorporates both a new system organization and a stored program concept of macro-instructions which directly implement many useful data manipulating sub-routines. Design features include a very high processing rate and an on-line table lookup facility for effecting very general transformations.
