SINTRAN is the name of a range of Operating System s for Norsk Data 's line of Minicomputer s. The original version of SINTRAN, released in 1968 , was developed by the Department of Engineering Cybernetics at the Norwegian Institute Of Technology in cooperation with the affiliated research institute, SINTEF . The OS's name is a Portmanteau of '''SIN'''TEF and FOR'''TRAN''', Fortran being the implementation language. Norsk Data itself took part in the development of SINTRAN II, a Multi-user system that constituted the software platform for the NORD-1 range of Terminal Server s. By far the most common version of the OS was SINTRAN III , developed solely by Norsk Data and launched in 1974 . This Real-time Multitasking system was used for Norsk Data's server machines (such as the NORD-10 , -100 ) for the remainder of the company's lifetime, i.e. until 1992. |
