The Athlon utilizes the Alpha 21264's EV6 bus architecture with double data rate ( DDR ) technology.

DEC's last major attempt to find a space in the rapidly changing market was the DEC Alpha 64-bit RISC processor architecture.

Alpha, originally known as Alpha AXP, is a 64-bit reduced instruction set computer ( RISC ) instruction set architecture ( ISA ) developed by Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ), designed to replace the 32-bit VAX complex instruction set computer ( CISC ) ISA and its implementations.

The Alpha architecture was sold, along with most parts of DEC, to Compaq in 1998.

Compaq, already an Intel customer, decided to phase out Alpha in favor of the forthcoming Hewlett-Packard / Intel Itanium architecture, and sold all Alpha intellectual property to Intel in 2001, effectively killing the product.

Eventually that new architecture became Alpha.

The main contribution of Alpha to the microprocessor industry, and the main reason for its performance, was not so much the architecture but rather its implementation.

The Alpha chips showed that manual circuit design applied to a simpler, cleaner architecture allowed for much higher operating frequencies than those that were possible with the more automated design systems.

The middle digit corresponded to the generation of the Alpha architecture.

The floating-point control register ( FPCR ) is a 64-bit register defined by the architecture intended for use by Alpha implementations with IEEE 754-compliant floating-point hardware.

In the Alpha architecture, a byte was defined as an 8-bit datum, a word as a 16-bit datum, a longword as a 32-bit datum, a quadword as a 64-bit datum and an octaword as a 128-bit datum.

The Alpha architecture originally defined six data types:

To maintain a level of compatibility with VAX, the 32-bit architecture the Alpha succeeded, two VAX data types were included:

The architecture greatly influenced later RISC architectures such as Alpha.

This was encouraged by the support of the first two versions of Microsoft's Windows NT for Alpha, MIPS and PowerPC-and to a lesser extent the Clipper architecture and SPARC.

The 68030 was used in many models of the Apple Macintosh II and Commodore Amiga series of personal computers, NeXT Cube, Sun Microsystems Sun 3 / 80 desktop workstation ( a member of the " sun3x " architecture, where the earlier " sun3 " used a 68020 ), later Alpha Microsystems multiuser systems, and some descendants of the Atari ST line such as the Atari TT and the Atari Falcon.

< tt > MMIX </ tt > ( pronounced em-mix ) is a 64-bit RISC architecture designed by Donald Knuth, with significant contributions by John L. Hennessy ( who contributed to the design of the MIPS architecture ) and Richard L. Sites ( who was an architect of the Alpha architecture ).

Tru64 UNIX is a 64-bit UNIX operating system for the Alpha instruction set architecture ( ISA ), currently owned by Hewlett-Packard ( HP ).

OSF / 1 AXP was a full 64-bit operating system and the native UNIX implementation for the Alpha architecture.

The impact rate on 1958 Alpha for 153 events was Af for particles of mass greater than Af ( Dubin, 1960 ) ; ;

Her husband, who is the son of Alton John Mason of Shreveport, La., and the late Mrs. Henry Cater Parmer, was president of Alpha Tau Omega and a member of Delta Sigma Pi at Lamar Tech, and did graduate work at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, on a Rotary Fellowship.

Alpha was derived from aleph, which in Phoenician means " ox ".

Carnegie was honored for his philanthropy and support of the arts by initiation as an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity on October 14, 1917, at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.

In the fall of 1980, she transferred to Vanderbilt University, where she was a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta.

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.

While in college, he became a brother of Alpha Phi Omega and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Since in a majority of constellations the brightest star is designated Alpha ( α ), many people wrongly assume that Bayer meant to put the stars exclusively in order of their brightness, but in his day there was no way to measure stellar brightness precisely.

Alpha 3 of Haiku was released in June 2011.

The 1999 game Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was also created by Meier and is in the same genre, but with a futuristic / space theme.

Although the Alpha processor family met both of these goals, and, for most of its lifetime, was the fastest processor family on the market, it did little to affect the bottom line or repair the company's status.

In a CNN interview, John Landis said the movie was " based on Chris Miller's real fraternity at Dartmouth ", Alpha Delta Phi.

The film Alpha and Omega, which was his last movie role, was dedicated to him.

Alpha was implemented in microprocessors originally developed and fabricated by DEC.

Alpha was born out of an earlier RISC project named PRISM, itself the final product of several earlier projects.

The Alpha was designed as 64-bit from the start and there is no 32-bit version.

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

In September 2001 the opposition leader Alpha Condé was imprisoned for endangering state security, though he was pardoned 8 months later.

With the rogue Manhunters defeated, the cybernetic Alpha Lanterns proceeded to drain the Power Rings of the Green Lantern Corps of their charge where they intended to punish all the Lanterns for their dissent.

Secretly, they also were pleased with the outcome of the Alpha War which saw the death of all Alpha Lanterns as it kept their hands clean of any involvement as they intended to destroy their Green Lanterns whilst bringing about the rise of the Third Army.

The Turbo Rangers, who suspended usage of the Turbo powers ( save Justin ) and Alpha 6 intended to go into space and follow them to rescue Zordon.

While the Union College Commons Club originally intended to join its counterparts in organizing Phi Mu Delta, the group instead elected to refound the Alpha Charge of Theta Delta Chi in 1923 because of pressure from its alumni.

Project Longshot was a conceptual design for an interstellar spacecraft, an unmanned probe intended to fly to and enter orbit around Alpha Centauri B, it would be powered there by nuclear pulse propulsion.

When he was finally restored with the help of Zordon and Alpha 5, and Jason's life force was fading away with the Gold Ranger powers due to them never having been intended for a human host, Trey used the Power Transfer Ceremony to unify his three forms and take back the Gold Ranger Powers and helped the Zeo Rangers defeat King Mondo, using an ability the Golden Power Staff possessed to make them all grow to Zord-size.

Henshaw assists the tribunal in capturing Eradicator, Superboy, Supergirl, Steel, and Alpha Centurion, who had intended to rescue Superman.

During the early 1990s, much of Shannon's focus was on DEC's development of the Alpha chip, a processor intended to replace its aging VAX CPU line.

Both the Alpha and Intel versions were intended to run Windows NT.

Irvine believed that a final " Age of Grace ", for which his " Alpha Gospel " had been intended to proclaim, had come to an end in August 1914, and that he had been chosen by God to bring a last message of Jesus Christ to the world before the final judgement ( the " Omega Message ").

There is some controversy as to whether this description should be taken as an objective description of the Alpha Plus Level of psychic mastery, or if it is intended to be read as Imperial propaganda, and just being the exaggerated view of the generally anti-psychic authorities of the 40K world.
