Technical Provision<br />

The Olympic Sailing Regatta was<br />

serviced by the ACS "Olympiad" two<br />

subsystems: the "Informatsia" Automated<br />

Control System and the "Olympiada-Parus"<br />

Automated Control<br />

System.<br />

The "Informatsia" ACS, employing<br />

the IBM 370/148 computers in Moscow,<br />

had three 3275 IBM input units in<br />

Tallinn, two high-speed IBM 3780<br />

printer units and five IBM 3275 "interrogation-response"<br />

units.<br />

This subsystem supplied the competitors<br />

in the Regatta, officials,<br />

guests of honour, journalists and<br />

other spectators with the information<br />

about the results of the competitions<br />

both in Tallinn and in<br />

Moscow.<br />

Additionally, the "Olympiada-<br />

Parus" ACS subsystem serviced the<br />

members of the Olympic family and<br />

spectators who were on shore during<br />

the races. It employed two Sovietmade<br />

ASVT M-7000 computers, installed<br />

at the regional data processing<br />

centre of the Yachting Centre.<br />

This subsystem had already serviced<br />

international Baltic regattas,<br />

held in 1977-1979, as well as the<br />

sailing competitions of the 1979 VII<br />

USSR Summer Spartakiade and the<br />

1980 USSR Cup.<br />

A system for providing information<br />

for world news agencies (SIMTA-80),<br />

which had four terminals at the Yachting<br />

Centre, also functioned during the<br />

Regatta.<br />
