Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Titan was the name given to the prototype Atlas 2 computer developed by Ferranti and the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory in Cambridge, England. It was in operation from 1964 to 1973. Titan differed from the Manchester Atlas by having a real, but cached, main memory, rather than the paged (or virtual) memory used in the Manchester machine. The Titan's main memory had 128K of 48-bit words and was implemented using ferrite core store rather than the part core, part rotating drum-store used on the Manchester Atlas. It also had two large hard-disk drives and several magnetic tape decks. As with the Manchester Atlas, it used discrete components, in particular germanium transistors.
