DOMAIN

Distributed Operating Multi-Access Interactive Network

DOMAIN PROCESSING - A NEW FORM OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTING

A DEDICATED CPU PER USER:
Each user experiences a high level of predictable performance, through his own VLSI cpu with 32 bit architecture, and an advanced network oriented operating system.
MULTIPLE PROCESSES PER USER:
A new mode of man-machine interaction, comprising a high resolution bit-map display and display manager. Multiple programs run simultaneously for the user, with a window for each being displayed on the screen.
A RESOURCE SHARING MODULAR NETWORK:
Computational power and peripheral resources are added to the network in easy stages as the level and shape of an installations requirements develops. Not only is economic growth possible, but network resilience provides high levels of overall system availability.

DOMAIN PROCESSING - AN INTEGRATED SOFTWARE & HARDWARE SOLUTION FOR INCREASED PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIVITY

ENGINEERING/GRAPHICS WORKSTATION:
With up to 16 Mbytes virtual address space per process, an extensive command language and high level language compilers, migration and development of large scale applications is easily achieved.
Accessing these dedicated mainframe style facilities via the advanced graphics capabilities of the DOMAIN display can provide efficiency improvements unattainable with conventional systems.
PROGRAMMERS WORKBENCH
Rationed CPU access can throttle programmer productivity - not so with DOMAIN, where the availability of a dedicated CPU combined with operating system capabilities which enable concurrent access to multiple processes for editing, execution and documentation functions greatly enhances personal throughput.

DOMAIN PROCESSING - COJMPUTING FOR THE 80's - TODAY
