INTRODUCING COLOR DOMAIN PROCESSING

THE DN600 FROM APOLLO COMPUTER

When it comes to combining 32-bit interactive computing
power and full color graphics capability, there's nothing
like APOLLO Computer's DN600.  It's a high performance, high
resolution DOMAIN Processing node that contains features not
found in any other computer or graphics system.  These 
include:

o A total memory capacity of 5.5 million bytes; 3.5 Mb main
  memory and 2 Mb display memory

o A powerful 32-bit central processor and a separate display
  processor

o A total of seven combinations of resolution, color capacity
  interlaced or non-interlaced operation, and interactive or
  imaging modes that support just about any graphics application

o A double buffered display memory feature that speeds the
  node's responses by storing graphics elements in the
  display's memory.

These features are in addition to the capabilities found in
all DOMAIN Processing computational modes:

o The AEGIS operating system, which distributes virtual
  memory throughout a 12 Mbit/second local area network
 
o The ability to interact with up to 15 simultaneous processes
  on each node by overlaying them on the system's display

o D3M, the first truly distributed database management system
  that combines the efficiency of a CODASYL-compliant data-
  base management system with the flexibility and ease of use
  of a relational database.

o Query with update functions

FEATURES

o Dedicated 32 bit VLSI central processor per user

o Integrates high performance color graphics with mainframe

o A palette of over 16 million colors

o Up to 2 Mbytes of dedicated dual ported display memory

o 16 megabyte virtual address space per process; 15 processes
  per user

o Virtual memory management hardware to support a network-
  wide demand paging environment

o Ring network topology with dual address packet and single
  token arbitration

o Up to 3.5 Mbytes of main program emory

o Seven software selectable color display modes

o 4, 8, or 24 color planes

o 19" high resolution (1024 x 1024) bit map raster display

o Draws vectors at more than one million pixels per second

o Software support for interactive or imaging mode

o Hardware pan and zoom (1x, 2x, 3x, 15x, 16x)

o Area fills at up to 320 million bits per second

o Bit block transfer (bit BLT) within display memory up to
  160 million bits per second

o Hardware raster operations between all planes

o Dedicated 16 bit display processor

o RS 343 compatible (red, green, blue) with green composite
  sync

o Integral baseband network with a 12 Mbit per second data
  rate

o Supports FORTRAN 77, Pascal, C, SIGGRAPH CORE package,
  graphics primitives
