==Vector processing applications== The ASC #1 prototype was a one pipe system and brought up in Austin, Texas, off site from TI's main plant for proprietary information reasons. It was later upgraded to two pipes and renamed as ASC # 1A. It was then used by TI's GSI division for seismic data processing. ASC #2 was leased to Shell Oil Company in the Netherlands and also used for seismic data processing. ASC #3 was installed at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, for Anti Ballistic Missile Interception technology development. With the [[Strategic Arms Limitation Talks|SALT Treaty]], the system was later redeployed to the Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg, Mississippi, for dam stress analysis. ASC #4 was used by NOAA at Princeton University for developing weather forecasting models. ASC systems #5 and #6 were installed at TI's main plant in Austin and also used by GSI for seismic data processing. ASC #7 went to the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ti/asc/ASC_6.jpg | title=ASC No. 6 used for GSI data | access-date=2024-08-10}}</ref> for plasma physics studies.
