Digital Technical Journal

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the NVAX microprocessor, a high-performance, single-chip implementation of the VAX architecture. It covers the technical design, verification methodologies (including CAD tools like CHANGO and NTV), and implementation of various VAX systems using the NVAX chip, such as the VAX 6000, VAX 4000, and VAXstation 4000 series. The journal also discusses error-handling strategies within the VAX 6000 family, emphasizing a consistent model for symmetric multiprocessing systems.
