Question

The computer architecture used by this project includes an unusual four-way instruction called CCS, short for “count, compare and skip”, as well as “E-bank”, “F-bank”, and “super-bank” registers used to access memory banks. This project used a “block II” computer to run two assembly programs named Colossus and Luminary. In a reference to DJ Magnificent Montague’s catchphrase, a routine in this project’s code is named “BURN BABY BURN”. The first computer (15[1])based on integrated circuits, the AGC, was made by MIT’s (*) Instrumentation Lab (10[1])for this project. (-5[1])A widely-shared photo shows Margaret Hamilton standing next to a huge stack of papers (10[2])with the source code her team wrote for this project. This project is referenced by a term that Google uses to describe ambitious projects with potential enormous impact. For 10 points, name this 60s and 70s project that is the source of the term “moonshot”. ■END■ (10[1])
