'''NORDIC''' (the Nord Integrated Computer System) was a multicomputer installation at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute in Oslo, Norway. Development of the system started in 1971, and was completed in February 1972. The complete system consisted of three [[NORD-1]] machines, connected to a [[NORD-5]] compute module.
== Hardware ==
=== Telecommunications processor ===
One of the NORD-1 machines works as a telecommunications processor. It has 16K 16-bit core memory, a 256K drum as storage, and is connected to the national teleprinter net and international lines (via modem).
=== Job processors ===
The two other NORD-1 machines are the job processors. They share a common 64K memory pool (core memory), and have common peripheral equipment that can be connected by a multi-selector switch to any of the two NORD-1 machines. Peripherals consists of
* two NCR Dual Disc units with capacity of 8 million 16 bit word, average access time 45 ms
* one Vermont drum, capacity 256K 16 bit words, access time 10 ms average
* three Magtape units, 9 track IBM compatible
* Card Reader, 300 cards per minute
* Line Printer, 1500 lines per minute
* Paper Tape Reader 333 characters per second
* Paper Tape Reader 2000 characters per second
* Paper Tape Punch 60 characters per second
* One Matrix plotter
The multi-selector switch can be operated manually, or program controlled.<ref name="NORDIC"></ref>
== System software ==
The operating system for the NORDIC consists of the Real-time operating system [[SINTRAN II]] and a file oriented batch operating system [[NORD-OPS]].
