Abstract
CAFS-ISP is a search engine, or Information Search Processor, exploiting highly parallel hardware techniques to enable information stored on rotating discs to be searched and evaluated at full disc transfer speed. It is intimately associated with conventional disc controllers on ICL’s mainframe systems, being an option on 2900 series and fitted as standard equipment on Series 39.
