Digital Equipment Corporation's brand-name for its mini-computer architecture introduced in the mid 1970's. VAX computing has dominated University minicomputing for 15 years.
See Virtual Address Extension.
The VAX, which stands for Virtual Address Extension, is a computing cluster used for TSAR test scoring, web page hosting and other applications.
A minicomputer built by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), that had terminal computers attached to them.
Virtual Address Extension. A type of mainframe made by Digital Equipment Corporation that runs the VMS operating system.
The Digital Equipment architecture that was the company's principal product line prior to the Alpha. VAX was enormously successful in Digital's traditional engineering and scientific customer base and, more significantly, enabled Digital to penetrate the commercial data-processing and office-automation markets. In 1999, Compaq Computer — which acquired Digital Equipment in 1998, and was itself acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2002 — announced plans to phase out the VAX platform in favor of Alpha system products.
Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC's) popular line of minicomputers and workstations, first introduced in 1977.
A line of super minicomputers introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1977. VAX is an acronym for Virtual Address Extended.
A mainframe computer manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).
Designation for a minicomputer manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation. Some of Technet's computer are VAXes. To top
irtual rray e tension. A high performance computer system manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation.
The VAX is a computer platform developed by Digital. Its plural is VAXen. VAXen are large expensive machines that were once quite popular in large businesses; today modern UNIX workstations have all the capability of VAXen but take up much less space. Their OS is called VMS.
Virtual Address eXtension. DEC's line of minicomputers first introduced in 1977 along with its VMS OS. This OS peaked in the 1980s but still sells.
VAX is an established line of mid range server computers from the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).
Virtual Address eXtension (refers to Digital's 32 bit processor technology) all early 700 series machines could run PDP-11 code in compatibility mode (this was done to allow customers to migrate from PDP to VAX without rewriting their software VAX-11/780 (the architecture reference platform. "One VUP" still means "one VAX-11/780") VAX-11/750 VAX-11/730 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/vax
The host computer at OSU that runs the VMS system.
a once-popular line of mini-computer and workstations from DEC. See VMS, VT100, VAXen.
Virtual Access Extended. A registered product of Digital Equipment Corporation.
n. Acronym for virtual address extension. A family of 32-bit minicomputers introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1978. The VAX, like the later 68000 microprocessor, has a flat address space and a large instruction set. The VAX was highly favored within the hacker community but has been superseded by microprocessors and RISC workstations. See also flat address space, instruction set, microprocessor, minicomputer, RISC.
VAX is a 32-bit computing architecture that supports an orthogonal instruction set (machine language) and virtual addressing (i.e. demand paged virtual memory). It was developed in the mid-1970s by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). DEC was later purchased by Compaq, which in turn was purchased by Hewlett-Packard.
