The first VLIW compiler was described in a Ph. D. thesis by John Ellis, supervised by Fisher.

Multiflow produced the TRACE series of VLIW minisupercomputers, shipping their first machines in 1987.

In addition to the above systems, at around the same period ( i. e. 1989-1990 ), Intel implemented VLIW in the Intel i860, their first 64bit microprocessor ; the i860 was also the first processor to implement VLIW on a single chip.

The VLIW ( for Very Long Instruction Word ) design style was first proposed by Joseph A.

Multiflow delivered its first working VLIW minisupercomputers in early 1987 to three beta-sites: Grumman Aircraft, Sikorsky Helicopter, and the Supercomputer Research Center.

The RT was based on the ROMP microprocessor, the first commercial RISC chip.

Since the introduction of the first commercially available microprocessor ( the Intel 4004 ) in 1970, and the first widely used microprocessor ( the Intel 8080 ) in 1974, this class of CPUs has almost completely overtaken all other central processing unit implementation methods.

It has the distinction of being the first programmable ROM cartridge – based video game console, and the first console to use a microprocessor.

When Compaq introduced the first PC based on Intel's new 80386 microprocessor, the Compaq Deskpro 386, in 1986, it marked the first CPU change to the PC platform that was not initiated by IBM.

The first version, the Alpha 21064 or EV4, was the first CMOS microprocessor whose operating frequency rivalled higher-powered ECL minicomputers and mainframes.

The second, 21164 or EV5, was the first microprocessor to place a large secondary cache on chip.

The third, 21264 or EV6, was the first microprocessor to combine both high operating frequency and the more complicated out-of-order execution microarchitecture.

Starting in 1968, Ted Hoff and a team at Intel invented the first commercial microprocessor, which presaged the personal computer.

Being within an hours ' drive of Silicon Valley, Kildall heard about the first commercially available microprocessor, the Intel 4004.

* The first microprocessor disk operating system, which eventually sold a quarter of a million copies.

This microprocessor was the first low-power CMOS processor chip, quite on a par with the 8-bit 6502 that was being built into the Apple II desktop computer at that time.

The 8080 has sometimes been labeled " the first truly usable microprocessor ", although earlier microprocessors were used for calculators and other applications.

In 1972, Intel launched the 8008, the first 8-bit microprocessor .< ref > using enhancement load PMOS logic ( demanding 14V, achieving TTL-compatibility by having V < sub > CC </ sub > at + 5V and V < sub > DD </ sub > at-9V )</ ref > It implemented an instruction set designed by Datapoint corporation with programmable CRT terminals in mind, that also proved to be fairly general purpose.

The 8080 device, often described as the first truly useful microprocessor, was eventually replaced by the depletion-load based 8085 ( 1977 ) which could cope with a single 5V power supply instead of the three different operating voltages of earlier chips.

The 386 was the first significant microprocessor to be single-sourced.

Intel 4004, the first general-purpose, commercial microprocessor

The first commercial RISC microprocessor design was released either by MIPS Computer Systems, the 32-bit R2000 ( the R1000 was not released ) or by Acorn computers, the 32-bit ARM2 in 1987.

The R3000 made the design truly practical, and the R4000 introduced the world's first commercially available 64-bit RISC microprocessor.

In 1991 MIPS released the first 64-bit microprocessor, the R4000.

But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.

There was an artificial lake just out of sight in the first stand of trees, fed by a half dozen springs that popped out of the ground above the hillside orchard.

The first part of the road was steep, but it leveled off after the second bend and curled gradually into the valley.

No one was behind it, but in the rear wall of the office I noticed, for the first time, a door which had been left partially open.

The herd was watered and then thrown onto a broad grass flat which was to be the first night's bedground.

Once again, Tom Horn was the first and most likely suspect, and he was brought in for questioning immediately.

For Matilda, it was the first she had known in many a night.

Even the knowledge that she was losing another boy, as a mother always does when a marriage is made, did not prevent her from having the first carefree, dreamless sleep that she had known since they dropped down the canyon and into Bear Valley, way, way back there when they were crossing those other mountains.

Stevens was grunting over the last empty pocket when Russ abruptly rose and lunged toward Carmer's hat, which had tumbled half-a-dozen feet away when he first fell.

The Indian's arm whipped sidewise -- there was a flash of amber and froth, the crash of the bottle shattering against the side of the first car.

It was her first smile.

At first, I thought he was out of his head, talking wildly like this.

Hell, I gave him the first decent job he ever had, six, seven -- how many years ago was it, Rob ''??

Miss Langford ( her first name was Evelyn ) was an attractive girl.

School began in August, the hottest part of the year, and for the first few days Miss Langford was very lenient with the children, letting them play a lot and the new ones sort of get acquainted with one another.

It was just as well that the ignorant Dandy enjoyed himself to the hilt that first evening, for the room was to become his prison cell.

`` Bastards '', he would say, `` all I did was put a beat to that Vivaldi stuff, and the first chair clobbered me ''!!

In 1961 the first important legislative victory of the Kennedy Administration came when the principle of national responsibility for local economic distress won out over a `` state's-responsibility '' proposal -- provision was made for payment for unemployment relief by nation-wide taxation rather than by a levy only on those states afflicted with manpower surplus.

The first systematic thinking about this Pandora's box within Pandora's boxes was done four years ago by Fred Ikle, a frail, meek-mannered Swiss-born sociologist.

The smell at first was more surprising than unpleasant.

His collaboration with Washington, begun when he was the general's aide during the Revolution, was resumed when he entered the first Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury.
