During this time, we had the conviction, led by Lew Lipkin and George Carman, that anything that we wanted to be do in software could be done by a series of sequential gates. These could be proved Boolean algebraically correct using Karnaugh Maps, hardware finite state machines, and related techniques. George had just taken a microprogramming design course as part of his masters degree in computer hardware architecture and the design of buffer memories and the General Picture Processor (GPP) were perfect test beds in which to try out these new design principles which were relatively new for projects like this. Some of the design diagrams are shown in Figures 11 through 14 (from the Carman [4] paper). Figure 15 shows some examples of GPP microprogrammed instructions for manipulating the buffer memory data. The design was further described in some of the technical reports [TR-7, TR-7a, TR-16, TR-21, TR-21b, TR-22] listed at the end of this history. Because we were prototyping the system, the card was constructed using wire wrapping rather than multilayer printed circuit boards. A commercial version would have used printed circuit boards, but would only have been economically feasible if many copies of the RTPP were produced. Using complex multi-level printed circuit boards is generally too expensive for a research lab.
