Kermit was developed at Columbia University in 1981 to allow students to transfer files between IBM or DEC DECSYSTEM-20 mainframe computers and removable media on microcomputers ( initially Intertec Superbrains running CP / M ).

The SA-1500 was a derivative of the SA-110 developed by DEC initially targeted for set-top boxes.

Maclisp ran on DEC PDP-6 / 10 computers, initially only on ITS, but later under all the other PDP-10 operating systems.

DEC was initially interested, but soon ( 1966 ) announced they were in fact dropping the PDP-6 and concentrating solely on their smaller 18-bit and new 16-bit lines.

** Unics ( later Unix ) ( AT & T, initially on DEC computers )

Dynamic Debugging Technique, or DDT, was the name of several debugger programs originally developed for DEC hardware, initially known as DEC Debugging Tape because it was distributed on paper tape.

Miller worked as a member of the original team of developers who followed Dave Cutler from DEC to Microsoft, where he initially started working in the networking group.

Digital initially expected TURBOchannel to gain widespeard industry acceptance due to its status as an ARC standard, although ultimately Digital was the only major user of the TURBOchannel in their own DEC 3000 AXP, DECstation 5000 Series, DECsystem and VAXstation 4000 systems.

The T3E initially used the DEC Alpha 21164 ( EV5 ) microprocessor and was designed to scale from 8 to 2, 176 Processing Elements ( PEs ).

" Much of the TMRC's jargon was later imported into early computing culture, because the club started using a DEC PDP-1 and applied its local model railroad slang in this computing context.

But as integrated circuit technology shrank the size and cost of computers in the 1960s and early 1970s, and the memory requirements of AI programs started to exceed the address space of the most common research computer, the DEC PDP-10, researchers considered a new approach: a computer designed specifically to develop and run large artificial intelligence programs, and tailored to the semantics of the Lisp programming language.

In 1978 Roy Trubshaw, a student at Essex University in the UK, started working on a multi-user adventure game in the MACRO-10 assembly language for a DEC PDP-10.

Design of the device started by DEC, but was only partially complete when acquired by Intel, who had to finish the design.

BBN started talks with DEC to get a paging subsystem in the new machine, then known by its CPU name, the KA-10.

In early 1970 DEC started work on an upgrade to the PDP-10 processor, the KI-10.

Just as the new TENEX was shipping, DEC started work on the KL-10, intended to be a low-cost version of the KI-10.

The first in-house code name for the operating system was VIROS ( VIRtual memory Operating System ); when customers started asking questions, the name was changed to SNARK so that DEC could truthfully deny that there was any project called VIROS.

He started working on the system at DEC, but at the time DEC had just started a relational database effort which lead to the Rdb / VMS product.

Armando Stettner stayed at DEC and later conceived of and started the Ultrix project.

In early 1974 Bob Leedom saw Ahl's DEC BASIC version and started porting it to the Data General Nova while working at Westinghouse.

By the time he started the Pentium project, a large number of established and new players, including the AIM consortium ( a consortium led by Apple, IBM and Motorola ) an Advanced Computing Environment ( ACE ) consortium formed in 1991 and led by Compaq, Microsoft, DEC, and MIPS Technologies, Inc, and a consortium by Sun Microsystems ( which comprised companies like Sun, Fujitsu, Philips, Tatung and Amdahl ), using superior RISC ( Reduced Instructions Based Computing ) had all begun aggressively working on their big idea for the PC industry and these projects seriously threatened Intel ’ s dominance in the segment.

Notably, the design team was led by Dirk Meyer, who had worked as a lead engineer on multiple Alpha microprocessors during his employment at DEC. Jerry Sanders had approached many of the engineering staff to work for AMD as DEC wound down their semiconductor business, and brought in a near-complete team of engineering experts.

One of these employees, Paul Vixie, continued to work on BIND after leaving DEC. BIND Version 4. 9. 2 was sponsored by Vixie Enterprises.

He convinced Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ), Intel, and Xerox to work together to promote Ethernet as a standard.

It may be included with any operating system where it works or can be made to work, including both free and commercial versions of Unix and Hewlett-Packard ( formerly DEC ) VMS ( OpenVMS ).

Although the first commercial sales were for VAX / VMS, from the mid-1980s the main Poplog development work was done on Sun SPARC computers running Solaris, although several different versions were sold, including versions for HP-UX and a 64-bit version of Poplog for DEC Alpha running Digital UNIX.

BBN became interested in buying one for their AI work when they became available, but wanted DEC to add a hardware version of Murphy's pager directly into the system.

Its design was heavily influenced by work on the Modula-2 + language in use at SRC and at the Acorn Computers Research Center ( ARC, later ORC when Olivetti bought out Acorn ) at the time, which was the language in which the operating system for the DEC Firefly multiprocessor VAX workstation was written and in which the Acorn Compiler for Acorn Modula-2 Extended Language ( CAMEL ) at ARC for the ARX operating system project of ARM based Acorn Archimedes range of computers were written.

The microprocessor was never released, since the Alpha line of microprocessors was discontinued shortly before HP acquired Compaq which had in turn acquired DEC. Dean Tullsen's work was also used to develop the Hyper-threading ( Hyper-threading technology or HTT ) versions of the Intel Pentium 4 microprocessors, such as the " Northwood " and " Prescott ".

When Borland eventually sold its Quattro Pro and Paradox products to Novell, where they would be joined with Word Perfect in an attempt to match Microsoft Office, Borland was left with InterBase, which Esber had purchased in the late 1980s and had its origins as a derivative of the RDB database work at DEC. Borland's ongoing strategy was to refocus its development tools on the corporate market with client – server applications, so Interbase fitted in as a low-end tool and a good generic SQL database for prototyping.

Even though Forgy did not work directly on the DEC XCON AI problem of configuring computers for DEC in the late 70's and early 80's, the Rete algorithm was later incorporated into the system for more speed.

As the core advocates later left the company, the MIPS-based line of computers was shut down in favor of the Alpha-based computers, a DEC invented and owned architecture, descended from the Prism development work.

The Freedom Series graphics engine was developed to work with Sun Microsystems, IBM, Hewlett Packard, and DEC workstations.

A port to the ill-fated Apple III was completed in November, and after that, development work shifted to a DEC VAX which had cross-compilers for a number of machines.

Following an announcement of the project's launch, no further statements had been issued by the DEC regarding its work as of June 2009.

After graduating he went to work for DEC in Seattle for Dave Cutler.

This used to be made more difficult by severe erosion and rutting of the trail, but in the early 2000s DEC did extensive trail work that leveled many turns into gentler switchbacks, making it much more accessible for horses.

* A very High resolution monochrome video card with blitter and hardware text line and arc drawing capability, was designed for CAD applications, based on the NEC µPD7220 chip designed for graphic terminals, but was also used by some personal computers like the DEC Rainbow, and notably also for the Tulip System I.

As a result of its free availability, knowledge of BASIC became relatively widespread ( for a computer language ) and BASIC was implemented by a number of manufacturers, becoming fairly popular on newer minicomputers like the DEC PDP series and the Data General Nova.

Some DEC PDP-10 machines stored their microcode in SRAM chips ( about 80 bits wide x 2 Kwords ), which was typically loaded on power-on through some other front-end CPU.

Initially focusing on the small-end of the computer market allowed DEC to grow without its potential competitors making serious efforts to compete with them.

With the company established and a successful product on the market, DEC turned its attention to the computer market once again as part of its planned " Phase II ".

When DEC introduced the PDP-1, they also mentioned larger machines at 24, 30 and 36-bits, based on the same design.

In 1968, DEC was developing a PDP machine that would be based on 8-bit bytes instead of 6-bit characters.

In particular, the new design did not include many of the addressing modes that were intended to make programs smaller in memory, a technique that was widely used on other DEC machines and CISC designs in general.

Colossal Cave Adventure, created in 1975 by Will Crowther on a DEC PDP-10 computer, was the first widely used adventure game.

Systems Concepts ( now the SC Group ) is a company co-founded by Stewart Nelson and Mike Levitt focused on making hardware products related to the DEC PDP-10 series of computers.

The original MUMPS system was, like Unix a few years later, built on a spare DEC PDP-7.

And, on December 30, 1995, InterSystems acquired the DSM product line from DEC. InterSystems consolidated these products into a single product line, branding them, on several hardware platforms, as OpenM.

First generation Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) PDP-8 on display at the National Museum of American History

By 1986 the system was complete to the point of being able to run on its own on the DEC VAX.

The PDP-10 was a mainframe computer family manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) from the late 1960s on ; the name stands for " Programmed Data Processor model 10 ".

The I / O architecture of the 20xx series KL machines was based on a new DEC bus design called the MASSbus.

Over time, some PDP-10 operators began running operating systems assembled from major components developed outside DEC. For example, the main Scheduler might come from one university, the Disk Service from another, and so on.
