Abstract

The DEC 7000 and 10000 products are mid-range and mainframe Alpha AXP system offerings. They were designed to meet the needs of large commercial and scientific applications, and therefore are high-performance, expandable systems that can be easily upgraded. The DEC 7000 and 10000 systems utilize the DECchip 21064 microprocessor operating at speeds up to 200 MHz. The high-speed chips, large caches, multiprocessor system architecture, high-performance backplane interconnect, and large memory capacity combine to create mainframe-class performance with a cost and size previously attributed to mid-range systems.<>
