The VAX 8700, code-named "Nautilus", was introduced in early August 1986. It is similar to the VAX 8800, but with one CPU and VAXBI bus. It is upgradable to a VAX 8800. It became a VAX 8810 after the SMP upgrade and revised naming convention.

This paper is a manual for using the VAX 8700 computer at ANL. The chapters include: The central VAX cluster: What it is and how it works; Training and other available assistance; Getting started with the VAX 8700 computer and VAX/VMS; Using the VAX/VMS file system; Developing programs in VMS; Using batch; Using available software; and Using ...

the VAX 8800 sets new standards for flexibility and performance. The VAX 8700 is an expandable uniprocessor system that provides future growth to the larger VAX 8800 multiprocessor. A single VAX 8700 CPU has all the design attributes of the larger VAX …

2003年7月17日 · Dual processor VAX 8700. Replaced with redesigned 8820. MicroVAX II console. Basically an 8550 processor in a bigger box with space for additional processors to make it into an 8820 or 8840.

The VAX 8700 is a single-CPU version of the VAX 8800. When the second generation of VAX 88xx computers came out in 1987, the VAX 8700 was renamed to VAX 8810N ( N for Nautilus ) See also

All VAX 85xx models and the VAX 8700 are single CPU computers, but the VAX 8700 is expandable with a second CPU, which results in a VAX 8800 model. All VAX 85xx models have somewhat limited expansion possibilities in comparison to the VAX 8700 / VAX 8800 models: A maximum of 5 memory modules with the VAX 85xx; 8 memory modules maximum with the ...

The VAX 8700 is a lower performance companion to the V AX 8800. Employing the same cabinetry as that top-of-the-line system, the VAX 8700 is intended for use in the same applications as the VAX 8550, providing greater I/O capacity and memory expandability (up to 128MB in 16MB arrays), as well as upgradability to the VAX 8800.

The VAX 8800 family (models 8800, 8700, 8550), currently the fastest computers in the VAX product line, achieve their speed through a combination of fast cycle time and deep pipelining. Rather than pipeline highly variable VAX instructions as such, the ...

2023年6月26日 · 他们的选择是vax 8700和mips m2000。 VAX和MIPS不同的设计目标导致了截然不同的体系结构。 VAX的目标是，简单的编译器和高代码密度，结果是使用了强大的寻址模式，强大的指令，有效的指令编码和少量的寄存器。

We measured Digital’s VAX 8700 (a single processor version of the: 8800) [4, 11, 30] against MIPS Computer Systems’ MIPS M/2000 [19, 26]. We concede at the outset that these two machines are very different in technology, size, and cost: the VAX processor is nine boards full of ECL gate arrays; the
