A basic model of [[Ship's Computer]], the [[Model/2 Computer]] runs [[Computer Software|programs]] that control [[Spaceship|shipboard]] functions such as interstellar [[Jump Drive|jumps]], and in-[[system]] navigation. It can also execute multiple applications including anti virus software, entertainment programs, routine communications, passive security programs, and monitors [[Life Support|life support]] systems. In addition to [[starship]]s, the Model/2 can monitor and control [[facility|facilities]] using the same programs.

Computers are specified in terms of their capacity to process and store programs.
All programs in the computer's CPU are processed simultaneously, while programs
in storage are available on a revolving basis to replace those in the CPU as needed

Computer control is through connected [[Workstation]]s. These may be connected to the Model/1 through hard links or other [[Communications Equipment|communications]] systems. In almost all cases where the Model/2 controls a given ship or facility function ([[gravity]], doors, [[sensor]]s etc.), orders fed in at the central workstation, like the [[bridge]] of a ship, take precedence over those fed in at local controls.

There are two additional versions of the Model/2. The [[Bis|Model/2bis]] computer is an version of the standard Model/2 with greater [[Computer Software|program]] handling capability at the expense of storage. A Model/2fib is a [[Fiber Optic Computer]], a hardened and shielded version that has a fiber optic back-up system to resist radiation damage.
