Professional workstations

Abstract

Professional workstations are dedicated computers that possess sufficient hardware power and software capabilities to allow the routine performance of job‐related activities by professional users. The advent of these computers reflects current trends in decentralization and specialization of computer equipment. The paper presents an informal review of classes of workstations of potential interest to engineers and scientists. The review was motivated by projected computing needs in a software‐intensive research‐and‐development industrial laboratory.
