Key Specifications/Special Features:

Alpha, originally known as Alpha AXP, is a 64-bit reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Alpha was designed to replace 32-bit VAX complex instruction set computer (CISC) as well as be a highly competitive RISC processor for Unix workstations and similar markets.

Alpha is implemented in a series of microprocessors originally developed and fabricated by DEC. These microprocessors are most prominently used in a variety of DEC workstations and servers, which eventually formed the basis for almost all of their mid-to-upper-scale lineup. Several third-party vendors also produced Alpha systems, including PC form factor motherboards.

Operating Systems Supported:

OpenVMS (previously known as OpenVMS AXP)
Tru64 UNIX (previously known as DEC OSF/1 AXP and Digital UNIX)
Windows NT (discontinued after NT 4.0; and pre-release Windows 2000 RC2)
Linux (Debian, SUSE, Gentoo, and Red Hat)
BSD UNIX (NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD up to 6.x)
Plan 9 from Bell Labs
L4Ka::Pistachio kernel

History of Alpha Architecture:

The Alpha architecture was sold, along with most parts of DEC, to Compaq in 1998. Compaq, already an Intel customer, phased out Alpha in favor of the forthcoming Hewlett-Packard/Intel Itanium architecture and sold all Alpha intellectual property to Intel in 2001, effectively killing the product. Hewlett-Packard purchased Compaq later that same year, continuing development of the existing product line until 2004 and selling Alpha-based systems, largely to the existing customer base, until April 2007.
