  • 1. Introduction
    Network Operating Systems Partha Dasgupta Department of Computer Science and Engineering Arizona State University Tempe AZ 85287-5406 USA [email protected] [Note: Written in 1997, Appeared in Encyclopedia of Electrical Engineering] 1. Introduction Network Operating Systems extend the facilities and services provided by computer operating systems to support a set of computers, connected by a network. The environment managed by a network operating system consists of an interconnected group of machines that are loosely connected. By loosely connected, we mean that such computers possess no hardware connections at the CPU – memory bus level, but are connected by external interfaces that run under the control of software. Each computer in this group run an autonomous operating system, yet cooperate with each other to allow a variety of facilities including file sharing, data sharing, peripheral sharing, remote execution and cooperative computation. Network operating systems are autonomous operating systems that support such cooperation. The group of machines comprising the management domain of the network operating system is called a distributed system. A close cousin of the network operating system is the distributed operating system. A distributed operating system is an extension of the network operating system that supports even higher levels of cooperation and integration of the machines on the network (features include task migration, dynamic resource location, and so on) (1,2). An operating system is low-level software controlling the inner workings of a machine. Typical functions performed by an operating system include managing the CPU among many concurrently executing tasks, managing memory allocation to the tasks, handling of input and output and controlling all the peripherals.

  • NWG/RFC# 752 MRC 2-Jan-79 01:22 Nnnnn a Universal Host Table
    NWG/RFC# 752 MRC 2-Jan-79 01:22 nnnnn A Universal Host Table Network Working Group Mark Crispin Request for Comments 752 SU-AI NIC nnnnn 2 January 1979 A Universal Host Table ABSTRACT: The network host table in use at MIT and Stanford is described. This host table is superior to the NIC and Tenex host tables in several ways. A binary file, compiled from this host table, is also described. This file is used by subsystems on MIT's ITS and Stanford's WAITS timesharing systems for efficiency in host and network lookups. HISTORY: As with many other sites on the Arpanet, we found the NIC's host table unsuited to our needs. Part of the problem was because the NIC host table was often inaccurate and all too often failed to include several nicknames in common usage in our communities. In addition, the NIC host table's format was awkward for user programs to use, especially those which wanted to have the host table mapped into memory in some sort of structured binary form for efficient lookups. Finally, the NIC host table neglects to include some essential information. The ITS host table was originally designed to be compiled along with a network handling program (MIDAS, the PDP-10 assembler used, has a pseudo-op to insert a file into an assembly). In order to make the host table palatable to the assembler, every comment line began with a semicolon, and every actual data line began with the word HOST. Each program which used the host table defined HOST as an assembly macro before inserting the host table into the assembly.

This document supersedes Order No. CH23, Revision 0, dated September 1981. The manual has been extensively revised. Change bars in the margins indicate technical changes and additions; asterisks denote deletions. This manual assumes basic knowledge of the Multics system provided by the 2-volume set, New Users' Introduction to Multics - Part I Order No. CH24 and Part II Order No. CH25. SOFTWARE SUPPORTED Multics Software Release 10.1 ORDER NUMBER CH23-01 February 1983 Honeywell PREFACE The purpose of this manual is to help you become familiar with the Multics extended electronic mail system. This manual provides you with an illustrated discussion of the print mail and read mail commands for receiving mail, the send mail command for creating and sending mail, and a large variety of useful requests and control arguments to aid you in utilizing the full capacity of the extended mail system. Readers are expected to know the Multics concepts and terms described in the 2-volume set, New Users' Introduction to Multics (Order Nos. CH24 and CH25). These two manuals are referred to throughout this manual as the New Users' Intro - Part I and Part II. Also very useful is the Qedx Text Editor Users' Guide (Order No. CG40) which is referred to as the Qedx Users' Guide. Section 1 of this manual introduces the Multics extended mail system.

  • Multics Technical Bulletin MTB-424 To: Distribution From: Steve Webber Date: 08/28/79 Subject: Multics on ADP -- Software Releas
    Multics Technical Bulletin MTB-424 To: Distribution From: Steve Webber Date: 08/28/79 Subject: Multics on ADP -- Software Release 10.3 EPS-1 Attached is a draft of the Software EPS-1 for Multics ADP. Several assumptions are made that may not be valid. These are: - There will not be an absolute requirement for object level compatibility of user programs. This deviation from the standard compatibility constraint is not limited to the removal of read-alter-rewrite but also includes formats of bit offsets as stored in pointers; changes to IDCW formats; and clock reading. - The first customer ship CFCS) release of ADP will be 3082. The performance of Multics on ADP for first customer ship is not important to worry about (since we can not compare it to nonexistent data on the current hardware it is silly to project a required comparative performance level). - The simultaneous execution of the Functional Test System (FTS) (on-line T&D running under its own operating system in the mainframe) and Multics under control of some form of hypervisor is not necessary for first customer ship (i.e., the hypervisor is not part of the first system shipped). Multics Project internal working documentation. Not to be reproduced or distributed outside the Multics project. Page 2 MTB-424 INTRODUCTIO!J This EPS describes the major changes planned for the Multics software so that it will run on the ADP hardware. There are unavoidable incompatibilities that will result from the current plan but it is assumed that these are acceptable. The incompatibilities are occasionally reflected to user programs.
