                 the compiler, built-in consistency checking within the
                 compiler-self-checking, and the use of self-describing

                 the compiler. However, these tools and techniques can

                 determined that a file service would meet the goals,

                 toolkit addresses the problem of access by providing a

                 content in memory. The basic unit of interaction
                 between the toolkit and the application is an in-memory

                 sufficiently handle this complexity. Therefore,
                 verification engineers developed a multipronged
                 approach for simulation modeling and functional design
                 verification. They also employed CPU diagnostic
                 programs, hand-generated tests, and directed
                 pseudo-random techniques to verify that the design
                 conformed to the VAX architecture. These techniques
                 helped them find bugs prior to committing the design to
                 masks. As a result, the first-pass versions of the CPU
                 chip set successfully booted an operating system.
                 Simulation also minimized chip rework and delays in
                 bringing the product to market.",

                 design of the VAX 6000 family, finds most problems

                 cannot test a complex system running under system
                 software control. For the VAX 6000 Model 400 system, a

                 the interaction of the system's hardware and software

                 shown in the results. Nearly all the problems found in

                 the simulation process. The testing and qualification

                 high processor performance and throughput, but also a
                 system which is reliable and always available. This
                 paper demonstrates how the newly implemented scan

                 symptom-directed diagnosis (SDD), is essential to
                 satisfy these needs. SDD is the use of on-line error
                 detectors and state information saved at the time of an
                 error to isolate the fault that caused the error. The

                 Architecture (DECdta) describes the modules and

                 implementation. Phase II is intended to service current

                 these architectures, there is no intelligent, multiunit
                 controller that functions as a centralized gateway to
                 the multiple drives in the shadow set. The new software

                 shadowing, including DSSI drives, DSA drives, and
                 shadowing across VMS MSCP servers. This last
                 configuration allows shadow set members to be separated

                 All essential shadowing functions are performed within

                 a computing system that can survive the failure of any
                 component. In addition, these systems can grow with an
                 organization and can be serviced without disruption to
                 applications. These features make VAXcluster systems an
                 ideal base for developing high-availability
                 applications such as transaction processing systems,
                 servers for network client server applications, and
                 data sharing applications. Understanding the basic
                 design of VAXcluster systems and the possible

                 Many organizations depend on near constant access to
                 data and computing resources; interruption of these
                 services results in the interruption of primary
                 business functions. In addition, growing organizations
                 face the need to increase the amount of computing power
                 available to them over an extended period of time.
                 VAXcluster systems provide solutions to these data
                 availability and growth problems that modern
                 organizations face.[1]\par

                 systems and application design in such systems and
                 proceeds with a detailed discussion of VAXcluster
                 design and implementation. The paper then focuses on
                 how this information affects the design of applications

                 XMI bus to an Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 local area network
                 (LAN). These systems use the XMI bus either as the
                 system bus (VAX 6000 systems) or as an I/O bus (VAX
                 9000 systems). The new systems, which can utilize the
                 full bandwidth of the Ethernet, are characterized by
                 increased host processor speeds. The DEMNA adapter was
                 designed to support these I/O requirements. In
                 addition, console and monitor facilities were built
                 into the adapter firmware for debugging, verification,
                 and user visibility. The adapter's performance for
                 small packets exceeds system capabilities, and Ethernet
                 bandwidth is the limiting factor for large packets.",

  abstract =     "The concept of a `Printer Access Protocol' or `PAP'
                 was introduced during the mid-1980s to provide for
                 comprehensive access to the new generation of more
                 capable, networked printers. The design goals for a PAP
                 need to consider the variety of data presentation
                 protocols in use and the heterogeneous nature of
                 distributed interconnection methods. A Digital printing
                 architecture team adopted an existing prototype, the
                 Reid-Kent Print Server Protocol, as the basis for a
                 proposed `Common Printer Access Protocol,' or CPAP.
                 Digital's first server instantiation of the CPAP,
                 PrintServer Supporting Host Software version 4.0, also
                 needed to address implementation practicalities to
                 ensure interoperability and back wards compatibility.
                 The solutions selected are applicable to a broad range
                 of client-server systems where clients and servers may
                 be independently developed, and where such components
                 may be in stalled and upgraded asynchronously from one
                 an other. CPAP is being considered for adoption as an
                 Internet standard, and is an element of the Palladium
                 Printing System, which has been accepted as the

                 an essential consideration in the development of CMOS
                 processes. Most empirical approaches that characterize
                 transistor hot carrier lifetime only provide

                 degradation under experimental stress conditions.
                 Digitals Advanced Semiconductor Development Group has
                 devised a physically based method for ensuring that the
                 hot carrier lifetime of transistors produced by a new

                 manufacturing variations on transistor hot carrier
                 lifetime. The method also takes into account the
                 sensitivity of the circuit design to transistor hot
                 carrier degradation. This hot carrier reliability
                 assurance gives developers the ability to predict

  abstract =     "The Alpha AXP 64-bit computer architecture is designed
                 for high performance and longevity. Because of the
                 focus on multiple instruction issue, the architecture
                 does not contain facilities such as branch delay slots,
                 byte writes, and precise arithmetic exceptions. Because
                 of the focus on multiple processors, the architecture
                 does contain a careful shared-memory model,
                 atomic-update primitive instructions, and relaxed
                 read/write ordering. The first implementation of the
                 Alpha AXP architecture is the world's fastest
                 single-chip microprocessor. The DECchip 21064 runs
                 multiple operating systems and runs native-compiled
                 programs that were translated from the VAX and MIPS
                 architectures.\par

                 against which they provided with the utmost prudence.

                 offers advantages over file system storage. Digital's
                 relational database software product DEC Rdb supports
                 the storing and indexing of multimedia objects ---
                 text, still frame images, compound documents, audio,
                 video, and any binary large object. After evaluating
                 the existing DEC Rdb version 3.1 for its ability to
                 insert, fetch, and process multimedia data, software
                 designers decided to modify many parts of Rdb and to
                 use write-once optical disks configured in standalone
                 drive or jukebox configurations. Enhancements were made
                 to the buffer manager and page allocation algorithms,
                 thus reducing wasted disk space. Performance and
                 capacity field tests indicate that DEC Rdb can sustain
                 a 200-kilobyte-per-second SQL fetch throughput and a
                 57.7-kilobyte-per-second SQL\slash Services fetch

                 Model to the business of software development. The
                 intent is to provide a theoretical account of the
                 changing quality cost structure as a function of a
                 maturing software development process. Thus, the trends
                 in expenditures due to the four major quality cost
                 categories --- appraisal, prevention, internal
                 failures, and external failures --- are presented over
                 the five levels of software process maturity, according
                 to the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI's)
                 Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM). The
                 Software Cost of Quality Model conservatively proposes
                 that the total cost of quality, expressed as a
                 percentage of the cost of development, can be decreased
                 by approximately two-thirds as process maturity grows

                 Digital's Corporate Telecommunications Software
                 Engineering (CTSE) used groupware techniques supported

                 (QFD) to identify product features that meet customer
                 needs. By linking engineers, customers, and product
                 personnel from across the globe, CTSE redesigned the
                 QFD model to optimize the use of local and global
                 groups in defining product requirements. During one
                 year, three software products, including Automatic

                 symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) implementation is to
                 convert the additional computing power provided to the
                 system, as processors are added, into improved system
                 performance without compromising system quality. The
                 DEC OSF/1 version 3.0 operating system uses a number of
                 techniques to achieve this goal. The techniques include
                 algorithmic enhancements to improve parallelism within
                 the kernel and additional lock-based synchronization to
                 protect global system state. Synchronization primitives
                 include spin locks and blocking locks. An optional
                 locking hierarchy was imposed to detect latent
                 symmetric multiprocessor synchronization issues.
                 Enhancements to the kernel scheduler improve cache
                 usage by enabling soft affinity of threads to the
                 processor on which the thread last ran; a
                 load-balancing algorithm keeps the number of runnable
                 threads spread evenly across the available processors.

                 programs to achieve their best performance on Digital
                 Alpha systems. One key optimization that KAP performs
                 is the parallelization of programs for Alpha shared
                 memory multiprocessors that use the new capabilities of
                 the DEC OSF/1 version 3.0 operating system with
                 DECthreads. The heart of the optimizer is a
                 sophisticated decision process that selects the best
                 loop to parallelize from the many loops in a program.
                 The preprocessor implements a robust data dependence
                 analysis to determine whether a loop is inherently,
                 serial or parallel. In engineering a high-quality
                 optimizer, the designers specified the KAP software
                 architecture as a sequence of modular optimization
                 passes. These passes are designed to restructure the

                 3.3-V\slash 5.0-V interfaces. Power dissipation is 50W.
                 It contains an 8-KB instruction cache; an 8-KB data
                 cache; and a 96-KB unified second-level cache. The chip

                 software installations and upgrades for a large network

                 developed a set of models designed to guide the design
                 of solutions to this type of complex management
                 problem. The bank project team, which had considerable

                 applications, was able to take advantage of these
                 models. The result was a versatile, scalable

                 This software platform capitalizes on the architectural

                 technology that Digital has sold as a series of
                 hardware products for more than ten years. Originally
                 developed by Digital's Assistive Technology Group (ATG)
                 as an alternative to a character-cell terminal and for
                 telephony applications, today DECtalk also provides
                 visually handicapped people access to information.
                 DECtalk uses a digital formant synthesizer to simulate
                 the human vocal tract. Before the advent of the Alpha
                 processor, the computational demands of this
                 synthesizer placed an extreme load on a workstation.
                 DECtalk Software has an application programming
                 interface (API) that is supported on multiple platforms
                 and multiple operating systems. This paper describes

                 feature-rich set of multimedia hardware adapters
                 developed by Digital for its Alpha workstations. This
                 paper describes the design and implementation of the
                 J300 software architecture, focusing on the Sound \&
                 Motion J300 product. The software approach taken was to
                 consider the hardware as two separate devices: the J300
                 audio subsystem and the J300 video subsystem. Libraries
                 corresponding to the two subsystems provide application
                 programming interfaces that offer flexible control of
                 the hardware while supporting a client-server model for
                 multimedia applications. The design places special
                 emphasis on performance by favoring an asynchronous I/O
                 programming model implemented through an innovative use
                 of queues. The kernel-mode device driver is portable
                 across devices because it requires minimal knowledge of
                 the hardware. The overall design aims at easing
                 application programming while extracting real-time
                 performance from a non-real-time operating system. The
                 software architecture has been successfully implemented
                 over multiple platforms, including those based on the
                 OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows NT, and Digital UNIX
                 operating systems, and is the foundation on which

  abstract =     "Software-only digital video involves the compression,
                 decompression, rendering, and display of digital video
                 on general-purpose computers without specialized
                 hardware. Today's faster processors are making
                 software-only video an attractive, low-cost alternative
                 to hardware solutions that rely on specialized
                 compression boards and graphics accelerators. This
                 paper describes the building blocks behind popular ISO,
                 ITU-T, and industry-standard compression schemes, along
                 with some novel algorithms for fast video rendering and
                 presentation. A platform-independent software
                 architecture that organizes the functionality of
                 compressors and renderers into a unifying software
                 inter face is presented. This architecture has been
                 successfully implemented on the Digital UNIX, the
                 OpenVMS, and Microsoft's Windows NT operating systems.
                 To maximize the performance of codecs and renderers,
                 issues pertaining to flow control, optimal use of
                 available resources, and optimizations at the
                 algorithmic, operating-system, and processor levels are
                 considered. The performance of these codecs on Alpha
                 systems is evaluated, and the ensuing results validate
                 the potential of software-only solutions. Finally, this
                 paper provides a brief description of some sample
                 applications built on top of the software architecture,
                 including an innovative video screen saver and a
                 software VCR capable of playing multiple, compressed

  abstract =     "The fusion of multimedia and traditional computer
                 graphics has long been predicted but has been slow to
                 happen. The delay is due to many factors, including
                 their dramatically different data type and bandwidth
                 requirements. Digital has designed a pair of related
                 graphics accelerator chips that integrate video
                 rendering primitives with two-dimensional and
                 three-dimensional synthetic graphics primitives. The
                 chips perform one-dimensional filtering and scaling on
                 either YUV or RGB source data. One implementation
                 dithers YUV source data down to 256 colors. The other
                 converts YUV to 24-bit RGB, which is then optionally
                 dithered. Both chips leave image decompression to the
                 CPU. The result is significantly faster frame rates at
                 higher video quality, especially for displaying
                 enlarged images. The paper compares the implementation
                 cost of various design alternatives and presents
                 performance comparisons with software image

                 Digital UNIX version 4.0 operating system for the Alpha
                 platform. The technology originated from research
                 performed at Digital's Western Research Laboratory. The
                 OM object modification tool is a transformation tool
                 that focuses on postlink optimizations. OM can apply
                 powerful intermodule and interlanguage optimizations,
                 even to routines in system libraries. Atom, an analysis
                 tool with object modification, provides a flexible
                 framework for customizing the transformation process to
                 analyze a program. With Atom, compilation system
                 changes are not needed to create both simple and
                 sophisticated tools to directly diagnose or debug
                 application-specific performance problems. The linker
                 and loader are enhanced to support Atom. The
                 optimizations OM performs can be driven from
                 performance data generated with the Atom-based pixie
                 tool. Applying OM and Atom to commercial applications

                 rewrite of the successful Windows-based X server
                 software package. Based on release 6 of the X Window
                 System version 11 protocol, the new product runs on
                 Microsoft's Windows, Windows NT, and Windows 95
                 operating systems. The X server is one of several
                 components that compose this package. The other
                 components are X Image Extension, the control panel
                 (which constitutes the user interface for product
                 configuration), the error logger, the application
                 launcher, and the setup program. An interprocess
                 communication facility enables the eXcursion components
                 to communicate in a uniform fashion under all three
                 operating systems. A unique server design using
                 object-oriented programming techniques integrates the X
                 graphics context with the Windows device context into a
                 combined state management facility. The resulting

                 supply under the 16-bit version of the Windows
                 operating system. The control panel was coded
                 completely in the C++ programming language, thus making
                 full use of the Microsoft Foundation Class library to

                 The IDS infrastructure is used by applications that

                 environments with either multiple directory services or

                 providing a view of a single, logical directory service
                 through a simple federation mechanism. To retrieve
                 resources from the logical directory, IDS determines
                 its physical location and converts the resource from a
                 directory-specific to a canonical format. Extensible

                 ensuring binary compatibility for 32- bit nonprivileged

                 Extending the virtual address space is a fundamental

                 the majority of the address space to applications by
                 minimizing the address space devoted to the kernel.
                 Significant scaling issues arose with respect to the

                 addressing on the OpenVMS operating system was to
                 provide upward- compatible support for applications
                 that use the existing 32- bit address space. Another
                 guiding principle was that mixed pointer sizes are
                 likely to be the rule rather than the exception for
                 applications that use 64-bit address space. These
                 factors drove several key design decisions in the
                 OpenVMS Calling Standard and programming interfaces,
                 the DEC C language support, and the system services
                 support. For example, self-identifying 64-bit
                 descriptors were designed to ease development when
                 mixed pointer sizes are used. DEC C support makes it
                 easy to mix pointer sizes and to recompile for uniform
                 32- or 64-bit pointer sizes. OpenVMS system services

                 of the huge 64-bit address space. This paper describes
                 the approaches taken to support the mixed pointer size
                 environment in these areas. The issues and rationale

  abstract =     "Digital Speech Recognition Software (DSRS) adds a new
                 mode of interaction between people and computers ---
                 speech. DSRS is a command and control application
                 integrated with the UNIX desktop environment. It
                 accepts user commands spoken into a microphone and
                 converts them into keystrokes. The project goal for
                 DSRS was to provide an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use
                 computer-user interface that would be a powerful
                 productivity tool. Making DSRS simple and natural to
                 use was a challenging engineering problem in user
                 interface design. Also challenging was the development
                 of the part of the interface that communicates with the
                 desktop and applications. DSRS designers had to solve
                 timing-induced problems associated with entering
                 keystrokes into applications at a rate much higher than
                 that at which people type. The DSRS project clarifies
                 the need to continue the development of improved speech
                 integration with applications as speech recognition and
                 text-to-speech technologies become a standard part of
                 the modern desktop computer.",

                 electrical and mechanical subsystems, if necessary
                 substituting current parts for the original ones. In

                 which preserves historical systems in their current
                 state, usually one of disrepair. The authors argue that
                 an understanding of computing's past is vital to
                 understanding its future, and thus that restoration,
                 rather than just conservation, of historic systems is
