Perihelion Software (original) (raw)
Perihelion Software Limited was a United Kingdom company founded in 1986 by Dr. Tim King along with a number of colleagues who had all worked together at MetaComCo on AmigaOS and written compilers for both the Amiga and the Atari ST. Perihelion Software produced an operating system for the INMOS Transputer called HeliOS. This was a system that looked like Unix but which could pass messages to processes running on either the same processor or another one. This was used in the Atari Transputer Workstation, among other places.

| dbo:abstract | Perihelion Software Limited was a United Kingdom company founded in 1986 by Dr. Tim King along with a number of colleagues who had all worked together at MetaComCo on AmigaOS and written compilers for both the Amiga and the Atari ST. Perihelion Software produced an operating system for the INMOS Transputer called HeliOS. This was a system that looked like Unix but which could pass messages to processes running on either the same processor or another one. This was used in the Atari Transputer Workstation, among other places. Later HeliOS was ported to other processors including the ARM architecture. Perihelion Software also produced an in-memory database system called Polyhedra. The group responsible for this product was set up as a subsidiary, Perihelion Technology Limited (PTL), which did a management buyout in 1994. PTL later changed its name to Polyhedra plc in 1995, and in 2001 was acquired by a Swedish company called ENEA.

Основана в 1986 году и его коллегами, вместе работавшими в MetaComCo над AmigaOS и компиляторами для Amiga и Atari ST. В Perihelion Software была создана операционная система для транспьютеров . Это была система, выглядевшая как Unix, но обладающая возможностью посылать сообщения процессам запущенным как на одном процессоре, так и на разных процессорах. Помимо прочих применений эта особенность использовалась в . Позднее HeliOS была портирована на другие процессорные архитектуры, включая ARM. Perihelion Software также выпускала систему управления базами данных под названием . Подразделение, отвечавшее за этот продукт, было учреждено как дочерняя компания, Perihelion Technology Limited и отделилась в 1994 году. Perihelion Technology Limited в 1995 году изменила название на Polyhedra plc, а в 2001 году была поглощена шведской компанией . (ru) |
