Abstract :
The research developments at the Cambridge University Mathematical Laboratory after the completion of the EDSAC 2 project and up to M.V. Wilkes´ retirement from his chair in 1980 are outlined. In particular, the Titan system, which supported high-performance multiprogrammed computing, the CAP capability-based computer, and the Cambridge Ring, a digital communication ring, projects are described.<>
