At that time the main objective was to build home computers for the KRG members. In 1985, the group joined the Russian fifth generation computer project START, in which Kronos became a platform for developing modular multiprocessor reconfigurable systems MARS〔Kotov, V.E. Concurrency + modularity + programmability = MARS. Communications of the ACM. Vol. 34 No. 5, 1991, pp. 32-45.〕 and played a leading role in the development of the first Russian full 32-bit workstation and its software. During 7 years (1984-1991) the group designed and implemented: * Kronos 2.1 and Kronos 2.2 - 32-bit processor boards for DEC LSI-11 * Kronos 2.5 - 32-bit processor board for Labtam computers * Kronos 2.6 - 32-bit workstation The project START was finished in 1988. During the post-START years (1988-91), a number of Russian industrial organizations had expressed interest in continuing the Kronos development and some has been involved into facilitating the construction of Kronos and MARS prototypes, including the design of a Kronos-on-chip. Nevertheless, changing in funding levels and the overall economic situation during perestroika did not allow those plans to be realized. 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「Kronos (computer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
