If you’ve heard of core rope memory, it will probably be in the context of vintage computing equipment such as Apollo-era NASA hardware. A string of magnetic cores and sense wires form a simple ...

As it turns out, this LOL memory stuff is quite important: it helped us to land on the Moon. As part of the Apollo Guidance Computer, Core Rope Memory was present in the Lunar Module, helping it land.

The overall memory of the Apollo Guidance Computer was equivalent to 72kb (in modern terms) and the software had to be woven into the core rope memory, women in factories put the software together ...

Jumping rope is a cardio workout that burns calories, burns fat, builds muscles, works your core and can help you lose weight. Try it with this workout for beginners.

The core rope accounted for 74 kilobytes of read-only memory that was programmed before each Apollo flight. The computer also had 4 KB of rewritable memory used for temporary programs and data.

The core memory was also known as rope memory, and those who supervised its development were “rope mothers.” We know a great deal about one rope mother — Margaret Hamilton.

The core rope accounted for 74 kilobytes of read-only memory that was programmed before each Apollo flight. The computer also had 4 KB of rewritable memory used for temporary programs and data.

Core Rope Memory could hold 18 times more data and required less space than traditional memory. As the Apollo Guidance Computer was completed, ...

It was the first integrated circuit computer, with a 16-bit word length (15 data bits, 1 parity bit) and a specialized read-only memory circuit that stored software in what was known as core rope ...

Core rope memory strikes me as the most absurd ideas for how to make memory as well as the most brilliant. I say this because of the shear simplicity of it.
