pdp-10
(foldoc) | PDP-10
Programmed Data Processor model 10.
The series of mainframes from DEC that made time-sharing
real. It looms large in hacker folklore because of its
adoption in the mid-1970s by many university computing
facilities and research labs, including the MIT AI Lab,
Stanford, and CMU. Some aspects of the instruction set
(most notably the bit-field instructions) are still considered
unsurpassed.
The PDP-10 was eventually eclipsed by the VAX machines
(descendants of the PDP-11) when DEC recognised that the
PDP-10 and VAX product lines were competing with each other
and decided to concentrate its software development effort on
the more profitable VAX. The machine was finally dropped from
DEC's line in 1983, following the failure of the Jupiter
Project at DEC to build a viable new model. (Some attempts by
other companies to market clones came to nothing; see Foonly
and Mars.) This event spelled the doom of ITS and the
technical cultures that had spawned the original {Jargon
File}, but by mid-1991 it had become something of a badge of
honourable old-timerhood among hackers to have cut one's teeth
on a PDP-10.

(foldoc) | PDP-11
Programmed Data Processor model 11.
A series of minicomputers based on an instruction set
designed by C. Gordon Bell at DEC in the early 1970s (late
60s?). The PDP-11 family, which came after, but was not
derived from, the PDP-10, was the most successful computer
of its time until it was itself succeeded by the VAX.
Models included the 11/23 and 11/24 (based on the F11
chipset); 11/44, 11/04, 11/34, 11/05, 11/10, 11/15, 11/20,
11/35, 11/40, 11/45, 11/70, 11/60 (MSI and SSI); LSI-11/2
and LSI-11 (LSI-11 chipset). In addition there were the 11/8x
(J11 chipset) and SBC-11/21 (T11 chip) and then there was
compatibility mode in the early VAX processors.
The B and C languages were both used initially to
implement Unix on the PDP-11. The microprocessor design
tradition owes a heavy debt to the PDP-11 instruction set.

pdp-20
(foldoc) | PDP-20
The most famous computer that never was. PDP-10 computers
running the TOPS-10 operating system were labelled
"DECsystem-10" as a way of differentiating them from the
PDP-11. Later on, those systems running TOPS-20 were
labelled "DECSYSTEM-20" (the block capitals being the result
of a lawsuit brought against DEC by Singer, which once made a
computer called "system-10"), but contrary to popular lore
there was never a "PDP-20"; the only difference between a 10
and a 20 was the operating system and the colour of the
paint. Most (but not all) machines sold to run TOPS-10 were
painted "Basil Blue", whereas most TOPS-20 machines were
painted "Chinese Red" (often mistakenly called orange).

pdp-6
(foldoc) | PDP-6
Programmed Data Processor model 6. A computer
designed around 1960 with more or less exactly the same
hardware architecture as the PDP-10. It already had
multi-user time sharing and batch processing and
multi-level priority interrupts
(1996-12-21)

pdp-7
(foldoc) | PDP-7
A minicomputer sold by DEC in 1964. It had a
memory cycle time of 1.75 microseconds and add time of 4
microseconds. I/O included a keyboard, printer, paper-tape
and dual transport DECtape drives (type 555).
DEC provided an "advanced" Fortran II compiler, a Symbolic
Assembler, Editor, DDT Debugging System, Maintenance
routines and a library of arithmetic, utility and programming
aids developed on the program-compatible PDP-4.
[DEC sales brochure].
The PDP-7 was considered reliable enough (when properly
programmed) to be used for control of nuclear reactors and
such.
Around 1970 Ken Thompson built the operating system that
became Unix on a scavenged PDP-7 so he could play a
descendant of the SPACEWAR game.

pdp-11
(jargon) | PDP-11
Possibly the single most successful minicomputer design in history, a
favorite of hackers for many years, and the first major Unix machine, The
first PDP-11s (the 11/15 and 11/20) shipped in 1970 from DEC; the last
(11/93 and 11/94) in 1990. Along the way, the 11 gave birth to the VAX,
strongly influenced the design of microprocessors such as the Motorola 6800
and Intel 386, and left a permanent imprint on the C language (which has an
odd preference for octal embedded in its syntax because of the way PDP-11
machine instructions were formatted). There is a history site.
