Cambridge Micro Computers Ltd – the Cambridge company that is looking to clean up with systems for estate agents (CI No 1,165) says it plans to unveil a new addition to its Vitesse V683 range of 68030-based systems at the forthcoming European Unix Users Show in London next month. The new system will use multiple 68030s and a VMEbus architecture to achieve a 15 MIPS performance in a four processor configuration, according to the UK company, which first showed a prototype multi-processor at the recent launch of Zebra Parallel Ltd’s Equus parallel processing environment. Cambridge Micro also plans to show a new imaging database system, aimed at users needing to store, retrieve and merge information in graphical, photographic and/or text format, from a variety of sources. The imaging database uses X-Window technology to display images, which can be captured, displayed and manipulated by a library of C subroutines and accessed by any Unix-based relational database management system.
