	Sequent Computer Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The death knell for NUMA-Q and Sequent technology was sounded when in 2002, two layoffs at Sequent's former headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon ended all development on the systems for which IBM had acquired the company.
		Sequent formed in 1983 when a group of eighteen engineers and executives (including Gibson) left Intel after the failed iAPX 432 "mainframe on a chip" project was cancelled.
		Sequent's first computer systems were the Balance 8000 and Balance 21000 released in 1984.

		Computers are based on the application of known physical properties and their interactions to represent some aspect or aspects of the problem at hand, so that the mechanical interactions will automatically produce a solution to the problem.
		By definition a general-purpose computer can solve any problem that can be expressed as a program and executed within the practical limits set by: the storage capacity of the computer, the size of program, the speed of program execution, and the reliability of the machine.
		Computers with general-purpose capabilities are called Turing-complete and this status is often used as the capability that defines modern computers, however, this definition is.

	IBM and Sequent Computer Systems Merge
		Sequent customers can even run NT on one set of processors and run UNIX on the other processors in the same Sequent system and manage both OSs from a central location.
		Sequent servers have become a favorite with data centers and large enterprise deployments because they don't force the customer to decide whether to run NT or UNIX alone, or force the customer to budget hardware purchases for each OS.
		Clearly Sequent will leverage IBM's existing services group, IBM Global Services, which at $40 billion is the largest computer services organization in the world--a benefit that should provide a big boost for Sequent servers in the developing data center marketplace.
