The performance of <a href="/">this validator</a> is a combination of
the base system <a
href="#Hardware1">hardware</a> and <a href="#Software1">software</a> and the
<a href="#Network1">network</a> connectivity of the site which hosts it,
providing very high validation performance to the Internet.</p>
<h2 id="Hardware"><a name="Hardware1">Hardware</a></h2>
<p>
The system consists of an <a
href="http://www.workstation.digital.com/products/auseries/auproduct.html">Alpha
Personal Workstation 500au</a> with 128 megabytes of memory and a disk. This
is a <a
href="http://www.digital.com/semiconductor/alpha/dsc-21164.html">500mhz Alpha
21164 processor</a> with very fast main memory and cache. This is one step up
from the low end Alpha workstation. If we need more speed, we can get
it!</p>
<h2 id="Software"><a name="Software1">Software</a></h2>
<p>
The base system software is <a href="http://www.unix.digital.com/">DIGITAL
UNIX version 4.0C</a>.</p>
<h2 id="Network"><a name="Network1">Network</a></h2>
<p>
The network which hosts this system is on a 100mbit/second one hop away from
Compaq's <a href="http://www.ix.digital.com/">Internet Exchange</a>, in Palo
Alto California. This provides as much bandwidth as we could possibly use at
a site extremely well connected to <a
href="http://www.ix.digital.com/participating/participants.html">many networks
of the global Internet</a>. The combination of fast hardware, a fast network,
and great connectivity provides the service you see.</p>
<h2><a name="credits">Credits</a></h2>
<p>
People and organizations who help make this happen:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Our thanks to Compaq's <a href="http://www.research.digital.com/">Network
Systems Laboratory</a>, which provides the rack space and remote hands
service, one hop away from Compaq's <a
href="http://www.ix.digital.com/">Internet Exchange</a>.
<li>
W3C to install and maintain the validation service.
<li>
Stephen Stuart installed the system initially.
<li>
Glen Trewitt helps for operations, in the infrequent event of anything going
wrong that we can't fix from Cambridge.
<li>
DIGITAL's Corporate Standards Group provides the hardware for
this service.
