* 1981 – The IBM Personal Computer is released.

AIX ( Advanced Interactive eXecutive, pronounced ) is a series of proprietary Unix operating systems developed and sold by IBM for several of its computer platforms.

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.

It is currently supported on IBM Power Systems alongside IBM i and Linux.

It is quite conventional in principle in past and present computing machines of the most varied types, e. g. desk multipliers, standard IBM counters, more modern relay machines, the ENIAC " ( Goldstine and von Neumann, 1946 ; p. 98 in Bell and Newell 1971 ).

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.

For example, the internal clock frequency of the original IBM PC was 4. 77 MHz, that is, Hz.

In IBM PC compatible computers, the Basic Input / Output System ( BIOS ), also known as the system BIOS or ROM BIOS (), is a de facto standard defining a firmware interface.

The System / 360 architecture was so popular that it dominated the mainframe computer market for decades and left a legacy that is still continued by similar modern computers like the IBM zSeries.

One notable late CPU design that uses clock gating is that of the IBM PowerPC-based Xbox 360.

Printer steganography is a type of steganography produced by color printers, including Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, HP, IBM, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Lanier, Lexmark, Ricoh, Toshiba and Xerox brand color laser printers, where tiny yellow dots are added to each page.

In the case of Software development, this moment is generally agreed to be the publication in the 1980s of the specifications for the IBM Personal Computer published by IBM employee Philip Don Estridge.

The Cyrix 6x86 ( codename M1 ) is a sixth-generation, 32-bit 80x86-compatible microprocessor designed by Cyrix and manufactured by IBM and SGS-Thomson.

: The best known family of operating systems named " DOS " is that running on IBM PCs type hardware using Intel x86 CPUs or their compatible cousins from other makers.

This model is recognized as the first database model created by IBM in the 1960s.

Jack Bresenham at IBM is most famous for the invention of 2D drawing primitives, including line and circle drawing, using only fast integer operations such as addition and branch on carry bit.

IBM is designing hardware to process this information.

Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ( EBCDIC ) is an 8-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems.

The Extended Industry Standard Architecture ( in practice almost always shortened to EISA and frequently pronounced " eee-suh ") is a bus standard for IBM PC compatible computers.

A single class-B element is rarely found in practice, though it has been used for driving the loudspeaker in the early IBM Personal Computers with beeps, and it can be used in RF power amplifier where the distortion levels are less important.

Forth is so named because in 1968 " the file holding the interpreter was labeled FOURTH, for 4th ( next ) generation software — but the IBM 1130 operating system restricted file names to 5 characters.

However, about once a week some character spots the fact that HAL is one letter ahead of IBM, and promptly assumes that Stanley and I were taking a crack at the estimable institution ... As it happened, IBM had given us a good deal of help, so we were quite embarrassed by this, and would have changed the name had we spotted the coincidence.

The name DB2 was first given to the Database Management System or DBMS in 1983 when IBM released DB2 on its MVS mainframe platform.

This family of " warehouse appliance-like " systems was given the name IBM Balanced Configuration Unit, or BCU, and is aimed at the warehouse appliance market typified by Netezza and DATAllegro, but it differentiates itself in that it uses the full-featured version of DB2 instead of a single-purpose warehouse-oriented RDBMS.

The project lead was initially blackballed for his role in the " failure ", but as the success of the 360 became obvious he was given an official apology and make an IBM Fellow.

The initial concept behind Newi originated in 1989 when Oliver Sims, then working for IBM, saw the need for an infrastructure whereby a given real-world business concept ( process or entity ) could be implemented as a software module that could be plugged into a running system.

Originally she was a nameless wicked witch in the original King's Quest ( with no ties to the story ), but in the release for the IBM, she was given the name Dahlia ( according to the manual ).

The SAPE software was given by IBM to the founding ex-IBM employees in exchange for founding stock provided to IBM, reportedly 8 %.

In cryptography, Lucifer was the name given to several of the earliest civilian block ciphers, developed by Horst Feistel and his colleagues at IBM.

It was then given back to IBM for free distribution to others.

Since MS-DOS has given way to Microsoft Windows and other 32-bit operating systems not restricted by the original arbitrary 640KiB limit of the IBM PC, managing the memory of a personal computer no longer requires the user to manually manipulate internal settings and parameters of the system.

IBM Fellows are given broad latitude to identify and pursue projects in their area of expertise.

The meaning of the key's abbreviation is not explicitly given in many IBM PC compatible technical reference manuals.

The Don Estridge High-Tech Middle School — formerly IBM Facility Building 051 — in Boca Raton, Florida, is named after him, and on the occasion of its dedication was given by Don Estridge's family his own personal IBM 5150 computer.

Jarvis's first encounter with computers came while he was in high school attending a one-day course on FORTRAN programming given by IBM.

Gartner interprets the lower ratings given in " customer experience " for IBM Cognos and SAP Business Objects as a result of post-acquisition issues.

Initially, it seemed that even IBM thought that it was a high end Personal Computer given the initially stunning lack of support that it received from IBM.

In 1977 he was given the enviable position of being an IBM fellow, an honour accorded to, at that time, only around 40 out of IBM ’ s 40, 000 engineers and scientists.

Autocoder was the name given to certain assemblers for a number of IBM computers of the 1950s and 1960s.

* The 2009 Japanese visual novel, novel, manga, and anime series, Steins ; Gate makes heavy use of the legend of John Titor, the IBM 5100, the fictional organization SERN ( based off of the real organization CERN ), and a character using Titor's name as a pseudonym .< ref >
