Waltham, Massachusetts-based Kendall Square Research Inc, the new name in massively parallel computer systems (CI Nos 1,813; 1,822), has become Unix Systems Laboratories Inc’s latest Tuxedo customer and strategic partner. Kendall Square will offer Tuxedo and its Tuxedo System/D database on its new highly parallel box, the KSR1, designed for intensive large-scale transaction processing, corporate decision support systems and numeric processing applications. Kendall chief Henty Burkhardt said the combination of KSR1 and Tuxedo will support high-intensity transaction processing applications that are national in scope and complexity. The KSR1 is a family of scalable 64-bit eight-to-1,088 processor parallel computer systems with a tradition al shared memory architecture. Virtually all exist ing Unix-based algorithms, computational science, transaction processing and database applications were developed for shared memory-based architectures.
