A typical large ND-500 configuration.

The ND-500 was a 32-bit superminicomputer delivered in 1981. It relied on a ND-100 to do housekeeping tasks and run the OS, SINTRAN III.

A configuration could feature up to four ND-500 CPUs, in a shared-memory configuration.

Hardware implementations

The ND-500 architecture lived through four distinct implementations. Each implementation was sold under a variety of different model numbers.

ND also sold multiprocessor configurations, naming them ND-580/n and an ND-590n, where n represented the number of CPUs in a given configuration, 2, 3, or 4.

ND-500/1

Sold as the ND-500, ND-520, ND-540, and ND-560.

ND-500/2

Sold as the ND-570, ND-570/CX, and the ND-570/ACX.

Samson

Sold as the ND-5200, ND-5400, ND-5500, ND-5700, and ND-5800.

Rallar

Sold as the ND-5830 and ND-5850.
