Data General Announces Full Support for the Next Release of the Java Development Kit.WESTBORO, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 1998-- JDK (Java Development Kit) A Java software development environment from Sun. It includes the JVM, compiler, debugger and other tools for developing Java applets and applications. Each new version of the JDK adds features and enhancements to the language. (TM) Software Ideal for Development and Deployment of Mission-Critical Applications in the AVFLEX(TM) Mixed Operating System operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. Environment Data General Corporation today announced full support for the next release of Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , Inc.'s Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK(TM) version 1.2). This release of the JDK provides a rich feature set of new class libraries and tools, making it easier for users of Data General's AViiON(R) servers running the DG/UX(R) operating system to create and deploy distributed, enterprise-class applications. This will include the new AVFlex(TM) environment, a set of services and products that provide customers with the ability to partition the high-end AViiON AV 25000 NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) A multiprocessing architecture in which memory is separated into close and distant banks. NUMA is similar to SMP, in which multiple CPUs share a single memory. However, in SMP, all CPUs access a common memory at the same speed. server into multiple DG/UX and Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. systems. "The next release of the JDK provides a true platform-independent architecture for development and deployment of enterprise solutions," said Linda Mentzer, vice president of AViiON Marketing at Data General.

It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and Windows NT computing environments." Java Technology in the AVFlex Environment Java technology is a key interoperability component for the AVFlex environment when users choose to partition their AV 25000 servers into multiple DG/UX and Windows NT systems. JDK 1.2 will allow AVFlex users to develop applications once and deploy on both operating systems. In addition, with AVFlex, users can take advantage of the modular growth of the AV 25000 server, integrated systems management, and consulting and implementation services for deployment. The AV 25000 itself is available as an entry-level quad-processor, "NUMA-ready" system that can grow to a 64-processor, high-end enterprise server with mainframe levels of scalability in processors, memory, and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output . The AV 25000 offers industry-leading investment protection by allowing new Pentium II Xeon (processor) Pentium II Xeon - The successor to Intel Corporation's Pentium II processor. The Xeon has the same P6 core as existing Pentium Pro/Pentium II units, but it supports a 100 MHz system bus and offers as much as 2 MB of level 2 cache. http://intel. processor-based hardware to be combined with installed AV 20000 Pentium Pro processor- based system components in a single system running a single copy of the operating system.
