    VSI OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.4-2L2 Operating System DO-DVASPQ-01A Software Product Description and QuickSpecs PRODUCT NAME: VSI OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.4-2L2 DO-DVASPQ-01A This SPD and QuickSpecs describes the VSI OpenVMS Alpha Performance Release Operating System software, Version 8.4-2L2 (hereafter referred to as VSI OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L2). DESCRIPTION OpenVMS is a general purpose, multiuser operating system that runs in both production and development environments. VSI OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.4-2L2 is the latest release of the OpenVMS Alpha computing environment by VMS Software, Inc (VSI). VSI OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L2 is compiled to take advantage of architectural features such as byte and word memory reference instructions, and floating-point improvements, which are available only in HPE AlphaServer EV6 or later processors. This optimized release improves performance by taking advantage of faster hardware-based instructions that were previously emulated in software. NOTE: VSI OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L2 does not work on, and is not supported on, HPE AlphaServer pre-EV6 systems. OpenVMS Alpha supports HPE’s AlphaServer series computers. OpenVMS software supports industry standards, facilitating application portability and interoperability. OpenVMS provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support for multiprocessing systems. The OpenVMS operating system can be tuned to perform well in a wide variety of environments. This includes combinations of compute-intensive, I/O-intensive, client/server, real-time, and other environments. Actual system performance depends on the type of computer, available physical memory, and the number and type of active disk and tape drives. The OpenVMS operating system has well-integrated networking, distributed computing, client/server, windowing, multi-processing, and authentication capabilities.

This characterization is true not only for traditional scientific computing, but also for high- priority data center applications that run on parallel processors. These applications require high, predictable performance and low latency, and they are important enough to warrant engineering effort at all levels of the software stack.

    THE EFFICIENT USE OF A VAX COMPUTER IN THE REAL-TIME TELEMETRY ENVIRONMENT Item Type text; Proceedings Authors Robbins, Robert B. Publisher International Foundation for Telemetering Journal International Telemetering Conference Proceedings Rights Copyright © International Foundation for Telemetering Download date 01/10/2021 10:32:25 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10150/613377 THE EFFICIENT USE OF A VAX COMPUTER IN THE REAL-TIME TELEMETRY ENVIRONMENT Robert B. Robbins Sangamo-Weston Incorporated Data Systems Division Post Office Box 3041 Sarasota, Florida 33578 ABSTRACT The use of a Digital Equipment Corporation VAX computer under the VMS operating system, in a real-time telemetry environment, brings with it many advantages. These advantages pertain to its ability to handle real-time telemetry processing in an efficient and relatively straight forward manner. The author will use the TELSET, TELDAX and TELFOR telemetry software systems as the basis for demonstrating the techniques which have allowed the real-time telemetry user to take advantage of a 32-bit, virtual addressing, architecture. INTRODUCTION Many real-time telemetry computer users believe in the need for 32-bit processing of telemetry data once it has entered the central processor. We at Sangamo-Weston agree with this belief and have successfully designed a real-time telemetry data acquisition system which efficiently uses the VAX computer under the VMS operating system. SYSTEM SOFTWARE The software written for this system achieves three goals. TELSET, which sets up the telemetry front-end hardware units, is written in VAX-11 MACRO. TELDAX the real- time data acquisition executive and TELFOR the telemetry data acquisition formatted storage process are written in interactive VAX-11 FORTRAN and are menu driven.
