Time-sharing, a technique that lets multiple people use a single computer simultaneously, had been invented only a decade earlier. Multics was to combine time-sharing with other technological advances of the era, allowing users to phone a computer from remote terminals and then read e -mail, edit documents, run calculations, and so forth. It was to be a great leap forward from the way computers were mostly being used, with people tediously preparing and submitting batch jobs on punch cards to be run one by one.

  • Lecture 10: File Systems File Systems, Databases, Cloud Storage
    Lecture 10: File systems File systems, databases, cloud storage • file: a sequence of bytes stored on a computer – content is arbitrary (just bytes); any structure is imposed by the creator of the file, not by the operating system • file system: software that provides hierarchical storage and organization of files, usually on a single computer (or nearby) – a significant part of the operating system • database: an integrated collection of logically related records – data is organized and structured for efficient systematic access – may be distributed across lots of machines & geographically dispersed • database system: software that provides efficient access to information in a database – not usually part of the operating system • cloud storage: the same thing, but on someone else's computer(s) File systems: managing stored information • logical structure: users and programs see a hierarchy of folders (or directories) and files – a folder contains references to folder and files – "root" folder ultimately leads to all others – a file is just a sequence of bytes contents determined and interpreted by programs, not the operating system – a folder is a special file that contains names of other folders & files plus other information like size, time of change, etc. contents are completely controlled by the operating system • physical structure: disk drives operate in tracks, sectors, etc. – other storage devices have other physical properties • the operating system converts between these two views – does whatever is necessary to maintain the file/folder

  • The Changing Shape of the Computing World
    Outside the Box — The Changing Shape of the Computing World Steve Cunningham Computer Science California State University Stanislaus Turlock, CA 95382 [email protected] http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~rsc Something happened to computing while many of us were busy practicing or teaching our craft, and computing is not quite the same thing we learned. We can ignore this change and others will take our place and teach about it, but they will not have the context and the skill to understand the technology behind it and to carry it forward to the success it should have. And if others carry that torch, computer science will be stunted because we didn't recognize and respond to the opportunity. What happened? Simply this—that Xerox and Apple and, yes, Microsoft opened up the box labeled “CAUTION: Computer Inside” and let the user into the computing picture. Users responded hesitantly but increasingly eagerly and now expect the computer to work for them instead of their working for the computer. Every application now in wide use, and any system that supports a general market, has evolved to meet that expectation. Any computing education that does not pay attention to the user’s role in computing is missing the most vibrant and exciting part of computing today. As it says at the top of this page, you are reading an editorial, not an academic paper. As an editorial, this note represents my personal passion and commitment to the user communication part of computing that the “official” computing establishment has long discounted, and I appreciate John Impagliazzo’s offer of this forum to make my case that computer science is missing the boat in not understanding the need to reshape computer science education to fill this void.

  • Unix and Shell Programming
    UNIX AND SHELL PROGRAMMING OBJECTIVE: UNIX – Born in the dark and somber portals of Bell Labs, it was a dream that one man nurtured and cherished. Like a parent, he reared the infant with compassion and zeal. And as the fledgling grew and spread its wings, it caught the attention of the world. This chapter will explore through the basics of UNIX, along with certain commands which itself are categorized accordingly. The File System and Some File Handling Commands: The file system is one of the its simplest and it lets users not to access files not belonging to them, You will be learning about categorization of files, the significance of HOME directory, mkdir, rmdir, and absolute, relative path name. Kenneth T. Moras 8/21/2007 BRIEF HISTORY 1966 The Multiplexed Time Sharing and Computing System or MULTICS project was a joint attempt by General Electric (GE), AT&T Bell Labs and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at developing a stable multiuser operating system The aim is to create an operating system that could support a lot of simultaneous users (thousands!). Multics stands for Multiplexed Information and Computer service. Left Ken Thompson, Right Dennis Ritchie The people involved in the project at this time are Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Joseph Ossanna, Stuart Feldman, Doug McIIroy and Bob Morris. Although a very simple version of MULTICS could now run on a GE645 computer, it could only support 3 people and therefore the original goals of this operating system had not been met, the research and development is just so expensive and Bell Labs withdraws their sponsorship.

  • 2021 ACM Awards Call for Nominations
    Turing Award The A. M. Turing Award is ACM's oldest and most prestigious award. It is presented annually to an individual or a group of individuals who have made lasting contributions of a technical nature to the computing community. The long-term influence of a candidate’s work is taken into consideration, but there should be a singular outstanding and trend-setting technical achievement that constitutes the claim of the award. The award is presented each June at the ACM Awards Banquet and is accompanied by a prize of $1,000,000 plus travel expenses to the banquet. Financial support for the award is provided by Google Inc. ACM Prize in Computing The ACM Prize in Computing recognizes an early to mid-career fundamental and innovative contribution in computing theory or practice that through, its impact, and broad implications, exemplifies the greatest achievements of the discipline. The candidate’s contribution should be relatively recent (typically within the last decade), but enough time should have passed to evaluate impact. While there are no specific requirements as to age or time since last degree requirements, the candidate typically would be approaching mid-career. The Prize carries a prize of $250,000. Financial support for the award is provided by Infosys Ltd. ACM Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring The Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring will be presented for the first time in 2021. This award will recognize individuals who have exemplified excellence and/or innovation in mentoring with particular attention to individuals who have shown outstanding leadership in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in computing.
