The NORD-50 computer system is a completely integrated system of NORD-10/S and NORD-50 CPUs. The I/O system, file system and operating system are common to both processors.

The NORD-50 CPU is designed to be a fast floating point processor which is a total slave to the NORD-10/S.[1]

NORD-50 does not have an I/O system or interrupt system by itself. This implies that NORD-10/S submits jobs to NORD-50 for execution in batches and acts as a system supervisor running the operating system SINTRAN III/VS and the NORD-50 monitor.
