Triglav (computer)

Triglav (computer) is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Triglav (computer) rather than just read about it. In short: Triglav was a computer from Slovenia developed in the 1980s and manufactured by Iskra Delta. It came to the market in 1985.

Key takeaways

Triglav (computer) belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Triglav (computer) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Triglav (computer) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Triglav was a computer from Slovenia developed in the 1980s and manufactured by Iskra Delta. It came to the market in 1985. It had options for three different central processing units (DEC J11, Intel 80286 and Motorola 68010) and could therefore run several different operating systems that were popular at the time (such as μDelta/M - based on Micro/RSX, Xenix, OS-9, MS-DOS and RMX). A hard drive with a capacity between 40 and 80 MB, 5.25" floppy drive and a microstreamer tape drive were also supported. Triglav/J11 with μDelta/M was configured as a single or multi-processor system (up to four CPUs) with different multiprocessing options. It was designed by engineers Dušan Zalar (CPU and multiprocessing HW and SW architecture) and Vladimir Pečar (μDelta/M and multiprocessing SW architecture). The computer was named after Triglav, the highest Slovenian mountain. With the name meaning "three-headed" it also symbolised the three CPU architectures supported by its design. In foreign markets, Triglav was named Trident. Trident, the three-pronged spear, similarly symbolizes the three CPUs.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Triglav (computer)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Triglav (computer) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Triglav (computer) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Triglav (computer) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Triglav (computer)

In research: Triglav (computer) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Triglav (computer) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Triglav (computer) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Computer-related introductions in 1985, Computer hardware stubs, Computing by computer model, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Triglav (computer) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
