Originally released for the IBM 6150 RISC workstation, AIX now supports or has supported a wide variety of hardware platforms, including the IBM RS / 6000 series and later IBM POWER and PowerPC-based systems, IBM System i, System / 370 mainframes, PS / 2 personal computers, and the Apple Network Server.

The AIX family of operating systems debuted in 1986, became the standard operating system for the RS / 6000 series on its launch in 1990, and is still actively developed by IBM.

Among other variants, IBM later produced AIX Version 3 ( also known as AIX / 6000 ), based on System V Release 3, for their IBM POWER-based RS / 6000 platform.

Since 1990, AIX has served as the primary operating system for the RS / 6000 series ( later renamed IBM eServer pSeries, then IBM System p, and now IBM Power Systems ).

In the late 1990s, under Project Monterey, IBM and the Santa Cruz Operation planned to integrate AIX and UnixWare into a single 32-bit / 64-bit multiplatform UNIX with particular emphasis on running on Intel IA-64 ( Itanium ) architecture CPUs.

The original AIX ( sometimes called AIX / RT ) was developed for the IBM 6150 RT workstation by IBM in conjunction with Interactive Systems Corporation, who had previously ported UNIX System III to the IBM PC for IBM as PC / IX.

IBM ViaVoice is a range of language-specific continuous speech recognition software products offered by IBM.

Two years later, in 1999, IBM released a free of charge version of ViaVoice.

In 2003, IBM awarded ScanSoft, which owned the competitive product Dragon NaturallySpeaking, exclusive global distribution rights to ViaVoice Desktop products for Windows and Mac OS X.

However, IBM already had a history of using Intel chips in its products and had also acquired the rights to manufacture the 8086 family.

This contract with IBM was the watershed in Microsoft history that led to Allen and Gates ' wealth.

Frances E. Allen of IBM, in 2006, was the first female recipient in the award's forty year history.

** IBM announces a $ 4. 97 billion loss for 1992, the largest single-year corporate loss in United States history to date.

The IBM mainframe z / OS operating system / platform has arguably the most highly refined and evolved set of batch processing facilities owing to its origins, long history, and continuing evolution, and today such systems commonly support hundreds or even thousands of concurrent online and batch tasks within a single operating system image.

In 1961, physicist John Larry Kelly, Jr and colleague Louis Gerstman used an IBM 704 computer to synthesize speech, an event among the most prominent in the history of Bell Labs.

The article on the history of the Informix Software company prior to the acquisition by IBM contains an overview of many other products which were offered by the company in its 20 year history.

* POWER to the people-an IBM history of POWER and PowerPC

In 1962 physicist John Larry Kelly, Jr created one of the most famous moments in the history of Bell Labs by using an IBM 704 computer to synthesize speech.

Hugh Darwen is a computer scientist who was an employee of IBM United Kingdom from 1967 to 2004, and has been involved in the history of the relational model.

Looking back over the history of its development, BS2000 / OSD has its roots in the TSOS operating system ( TSOS: Time Sharing Operating System ) first developed by RCA for the / 46 model of the Spectra / 70 series, a computer family of the late 1960s related in its architecture to IBM ’ s / 360 series.

It was an accident of history that the IBM PC happened to have an Intel CPU ( instead of the technically superior Motorola 68000 that had been tipped for it, or an IBM in-house design ), and that it shipped with IBM PC-DOS ( a licensed version of Microsoft's MS-DOS ) rather than the CP / M-86 operating system, but these accidents were to have enormous significance in later years.

IBM was subject to a series of the longest and most complex monopoly antitrust actions in United States history, and presented the first significant model for understanding of how lock-in affected the computer industry.

Their concern was well-founded: subsequent history has shown not only that NSA actively intervened with IBM and NBS to shorten the key size, but also that the short key size enabled exactly the kind of massively parallel key crackers that Hellman and Diffie sketched out, which when ultimately built outside the classified world, made it clear that DES was insecure and obsolete.

It has a long history, having been developed by IBM in 1959 as the Report Program Generator-a tool to replicate punched card processing on the IBM 1401 then updated to RPG II for the IBM System / 3 in the late 1960s, and since evolved into an HLL equivalent to COBOL and PL / I.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

In developing AIX, IBM and Interactive Systems Corporation ( whom IBM contracted ) also incorporated source code from 4. 2 and 4. 3 BSD UNIX.

In 2003, the SCO Group alleged that ( among other infractions ) IBM had misappropriated licensed source code from UNIX System V Release 4 for incorporation into AIX ; SCO subsequently withdrew IBM's license to develop and distribute AIX.

As an example, if one was trying to profit from a price discrepancy between IBM on the NYSE and IBM on the London Stock Exchange, they may purchase a large number of shares on the NYSE and find that they cannot simultaneously sell on the LSE.

For a time, memory capacities were often expressed in K, even when M could have been used: The IBM System / 370 Model 158 brochure ( 1972 ) had the following: " Real storage capacity is available in 512K increments ranging from 512K to 2, 048K bytes.

Backplanes have grown in complexity from the simple Industry Standard Architecture ( ISA ) ( used in the original IBM PC ) or S-100 style where all the connectors were connected to a common bus.

The original System / 360 models of IBM mainframe had read-only control store, but later System / 360, System / 370 and successor models loaded part or all of their microprograms from floppy disks or other DASD into a writable control store consisting of ultra-high speed random-access read-write memory.

IBM contributed its Common User Access model from OS / 2's Workplace Shell.

" The IBM COMTRAN language invented by Bob Bemer was also drawn upon, but the FACT language specification from Honeywell was not distributed to committee members until late in the process and had relatively little impact.

Active development of the model by the US Department of Defense Software Engineering Institute ( SEI ) began in 1986 when Humphrey joined the Software Engineering Institute located at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania after retiring from IBM.

The first highly ( or tightly ) pipelined x86 implementations, the 486 designs from Intel, AMD, Cyrix, and IBM, supported every instruction that their predecessors did, but achieved maximum efficiency only on a fairly simple x86 subset that was only a little more than a typical RISC instruction set ( i. e. without typical RISC load-store limitations ).

By the mid-1990s, Compaq's price war had enabled it to overtake IBM and Apple, while other IBM PC Compatible manufacturers such as Packard Bell and AST were driven from the market.

This program ran only on IBM VM / SP CMS, but was the inspiration for other programs, including filelist ( a script run via the Xedit editor ), and programs running on other operating systems, including a program also called flist, which ran on OpenVMS, and fulist ( from the name of the corresponding internal IBM program ), which runs on Unix.
