about

The ROMP/PL.8 project was initiated by the IBM Office Products Division (OPD) in mid1977 in Austin. OPD architects were motivated to develop a high-performance microprocessor which could be efficiently programmed using a high-level language. The "801 Project" at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, New York had many of the same goals. It was decided to take the 801 architecture and modify it as appropriate for OPD objectives. This cooperative effort became known as the Research - OPO - MicroProcessor and was given the acronym ROMP.
