Gould NPL (2126 words) |
 | NPL was a relatively clean vector ISA with robust multiprocessing support, particularly with the NP2 extensions. |
 | NPL's four primary weaknesses were its floating-point arithmetic, the I/O system, the interrupt system, and the compiler. |
 | NPL's fundamental failing was that it was not the first or a compelling entry into a new company market and simultaneously was not a desirable product in the company's existing real-time market. |

 | The NPL is a list of national priorities among the known or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the United States. |
 | The NPL is intended primarily to guide EPA in determining which sites warrant further investigation to assess the nature and extent of public health and environmental risks associated with a release of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants. |
 | The NPL does not describe releases in precise geographical terms; it would be neither feasible nor consistent with the limited purpose of the NPL (to identify releases that are priorities for further evaluation), for it to do so. |
