The later machines, like EVE (endicott verification engine), assumed chips with synchronous clock. recent post mentioning LSM (with several LSM, YSE, and EVE references): http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007f.html#73 Is computer history taught now? one of the HSDT high-speed links http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#hsdt was between austin and los gatos ... and there was fair amount of chip design traffic over the link from austin to los gatos; in fact it was claimed that the availability helped bring in the RIOS (i.e. rs/6000) chipset a year early. The Los Gatos lab also did a high-performance eperimental database in conjunction with some people from STL ... somewhat concurrent with system/r ... original sql/relational implementation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#systemr it shared some of the characteristics of relational ... but while the system/r implementation assumed fairly regular information organization implemented in tables ... the los gatos implementation (also originally done in vs/pascal) was targeted at chip design ... both logical and physical layout ... with possibly extremely anomoulous and non-uniform data (not well suited for table structure). i had worked on some of the system/r stuff ... recent post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007.html#1 The Elements of Programming Style with some old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007.html#email801006 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007.html#email801016 as well worked on some of the implementation that los gatos was doing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
