The IBM Cambridge Scientific Center was a company research laboratory established in February 1964 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Situated at 545 Technology Square (''Tech Square''), in the same building as MIT's Project MAC,〔(Tech Square )〕 it was later renamed the IBM Scientific Center.〔cf. R. J. Creasy, "The origin of the VM/370 time-sharing system", ''IBM Journal of Research & Development'', Vol. 25, No. 5 (September 1981), ''pp.'' 483-490: ''"It was later renamed the IBM Scientific Center"''〕 It is most notable for creating the CP-40 and CP/CMS ''control program'' portions of CP/CMS, a virtual machine operating system developed for the IBM System/360-67. ==History== The IBM Data Processing Division (DPD) sponsored five Scientific Center research groups in the United States and some others around the world to work with selected universities on a variety of customer-related projects.〔Melinda Varian, "VM and the VM Community: Past, Present, and Future", ''Princeton University Office of Computing and Information Technology'', April 1991, ''pp.'' 22-50: ''"The Births of System/360, Project MAC, and the Cambridge Scientific Center"''〕 The IBM Research Division in Yorktown Heights, NY was a separate laboratory organization at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center that tended more to "pure" research topics. The DPD Scientific Centers in the late 1960s were located in Palo Alto, California, Houston, Texas, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Grenoble, France. The IBM Time-Life Programming Center in Manhattan, New York worked with the scientific centers but had a slightly different reporting line. Established by Norm Rasmussen, the Cambridge Scientific Center worked with computing groups at both MIT and Harvard, in the same building as Project MAC and the IBM Boston Programming Center (BPC). Additional joint projects involved the MIT Lincoln Laboratory on the outskirts of Boston and Brown University in Providence, RI. The scientific center in 1969 had three main departments: Computer Graphics under Craig Johnson, Operations Research under John Harmon, and Operating Systems under Richard (Rip) Parmelee. IBM closed the center on July 31, 1992.〔Melinda Varian, (''VM and the VM Community: Past, Present, and Future'' ), April 1991, page 50〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cambridge Scientific Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
