HP LABS WORKING ON H1; FIRST PA-RISC WITH CACHE TO DEBUT NEXT MONTH
(September 25th 1995) Hewlett-Packard Co's Cupertino labs are
developing H1 processors, compilers and HP-UX kernels. The Fort
Collins, Colorado facility is working on Precision Architecture RISC
while the Roseville, California lab will work on workstation and
server development, since Hewlett-Packard and Intel Corp have decided
against creating a dedicated development unit. Larry Inman, manager
of worldwide advanced technical marketing, said it could be a year
before the two are ready to talk in detail about the H1/P7
technologies and their plans.
Hewlett-Packard's first Precision Architecture iteration with
on-board cache, the 7300LC, will be announced at the Microprocessor
Forum in San Jose, California next month. Systems will be ready in a
year, although it has PA-8000 systems up and running internally.
The company's middleware engineering group has developed version 1.4
of its DCE/9000 system, with Distributed Computing Environment 1.1
underneath. CICS/9000 and Encina/9000 are now available for the
latest K-class systems.
