The SAS Institute’s data management, analysis and presentation software – SAS System – has been implemented for DEC’s new MIPS Computer Systems RISC-based Ultrix workstations and the new VAX 6000 Model 400, and DECwindows versions will be available for both. The Ultrix offering is due out by the middle of next year, and the VAX 6000 Model 400 version will be out when the machine begins shipping later this year. The software will include support for DEC’s vector processor, which the copmany has formally confirmed is under development for the Model 400, when it arrives. The Model 400 is the family that was dubbed the VAX 6400 ahead of its announcement last week, and comes with up to six processors.
