Between 1977 and 2000, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) produced a wide range of computer systems under the VAX brand, all based on various implementations of the DEC-proprietary instruction set architecture of the same name.
The result was the definition of a "VAX MIPS", the speed of a VAX-11/780; a computer performing at 27 VAX MIPS would run the same program roughly 27 times faster than the VAX-11/780. Within the Digital community the term VUP ( VAX Unit of Performance ) was the more common term, because MIPS do not compare well across different architectures.
The VAXstation 100 is an intelligent graphics terminal (also described as a Display subsystem) introduced by Digital in May 1983 for the VAX-11 line of computers. [2] The VAXstation 100 was Digital's first workstation hardware for the VAX platform; the graphics terminal approach was selected due to the lack of availability of a VLSI VAX CPU necessary to create a standalone VAX workstation when ...
Korg N5: The N5 was introduced as a keyboard version of the Korg NS5R sound module [31] without expansion slot. Korg N1/N1R: The N1 is an 88-key (piano-action) synthesizer. It is the expanded version of the N5 with a larger sample ROM [32] for more AI2 voices and drum kits. In addition to the Korg voices, it provides full support for GM, GS and XG.
A keyboard instrument is a musical instrument played using a keyboard, a row of levers which are pressed by the fingers. The most common of these are the piano , organ , and various electronic keyboards , including synthesizers and digital pianos .
Yamaha PSR-290 electronic keyboard A MIDI song played on a Casio electronic keyboard. An electronic keyboard, portable keyboard, or digital keyboard is an electronic musical instrument based on keyboard instruments. [1] Electronic keyboards include synthesizers, digital pianos, stage pianos, electronic organs and digital audio workstations.
The first computer to use a VAX CPU was the VAX-11/780, announced in October 1977, which DEC referred to as a superminicomputer. Although it was not the first 32-bit minicomputer, the VAX-11/780's combination of features, price, and marketing almost immediately propelled it to a leadership position in the market after it was released in 1978.
The VAX 8300 is a dual-processor variant of the VAX 8200 and, with the VAX 8800 introduced on the same date, are among the first multiprocessor VAX computers. They use the KA820 CPU module containing a V-11 microprocessor operating at 5 MHz (200 ns cycle) and support a maximum of 128 MB of ECC memory.
