Distributed Data Processing (DDP) was the term that IBM used for the IBM 8100 (1975) and its successor, the IBM 3790 (1979). Datamation described the 3790 in March 1979 as "less than successful."[1] [2]
DDP was used by IBM to refer to two envrionments:
Each pair included a Telecommunications Monitor and a Database system.[3] The layoring involved a message, containing information to form a transaction, which was then processed by an application program.[4]
Development tools such as Program Validation Services (PVS) were released by IBM to facilitate expansion.[5]
Lower case DDP
Hadoop adds another term to the mix: File System.
