Additional details on the Ethnographic Atlas The Ethnographic Atlas was constructed by George Peter Murdock. It contains ethnographic information for 1,265 ethnic groups worldwide. The period in which the information was collected varies by ethnicity, with the earliest observation dates coming from ethnicities in the Old World (where early written evidence is available) and the most recent information dating around the 20th century, for those parts of the world without a written history and directly observed by anthropologists. All societies are observed prior to industrialization. In total, 23 ethnicities are observed during the 17th century or earlier, 16 during the 18th century, 310 during the 19th century, 876 between 1900 and 1950, and 31 after 1950. For nine ethnicities, an exact year is not provided. The variable v39 classifies each ethnic group as being in one of the following three categories: (1) the plough was absent, (2) the plough existed at the time the group was observed, but it was not aboriginal, and (3) the plough was aboriginal, having existed prior to contact. Using this information, we construct an indicator variable that equals one if the plough was ever adopted during the pre-industrial period (whether aboriginal or not) and zero otherwise. Of the 1,156 ethnicities for which information exists, for 997 the plough was absent, for 141 the plough was adopted (and aboriginal), and for 18 it was adopted, but after European contact.

    Storage Organization and Management in TENEX I. Introduction

    Storage Organization and Management in TENEX http://www.linique.com/dlm/tenex/fjcc72/ Storage Organization and Management in TENEX by Daniel L. Murphy Presented at the Fall Joint Computer Conference, 1972. Originally published in AFIPS Conference Proceedings Volume 41. I. Introduction In early 1969, BBN began an effort aimed at developing a new time-shared operating system. It was felt at the time that none of the commercially available systems could meet the needs of the research planned and in progress at BBN. The foremost requirement of the desired operating system was that it support a directly addressed process memory in which large list-processing computations could be performed. The cost of core storage prohibited the acquisition of sufficient memory for even one such process, and the problems of swapping such very large processes in a time-sharing environment made that solution technically infeasible as well. Paging was therefore the logical alternative, and our study and experience with list processing systems(1,2) led us to believe that using a demand-paged virtual memory system for such computations was a feasible approach. With demand paged process virtual memory added to our requirements, we found no existing system which could adequately meet our needs. Our approach was to take an existing system which was otherwise appropriate and add the necesary hardware to support paging. The system chosen was the DEC PDP-10 (3), which, although not paged, was available with a time-shared operating system and substantial support software. Consideration was given to modifying the existing PDP-10 operating system to support demand paging, but that approach was rejected because of the substantial amount of work which would be required, because of the inherent constraints imbedded in the architecture of any large system, and because development of a new operating system would allow the inclusion of a great many other features and facilities which were judged desirable.

    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.

  • Lisp: Program Is Data

    Lisp: Program Is Data

    LISP: PROGRAM IS DATA A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MACLISP Jon L White Laboratory for Computer Science, M.I.T.* ABSTRACT For over 10 years, MACLISP has supported a variety of projects at M.I.T.'s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and the Laboratory for Computer Science (formerly Project MAC). During this time, there has been a continuing development of the MACLISP system, spurred in great measure by the needs of MACSYMAdevelopment. Herein are reported, in amosiac, historical style, the major features of the system. For each feature discussed, an attempt will be made to mention the year of initial development, andthe names of persons or projectsprimarily responsible for requiring, needing, or suggestingsuch features. INTRODUCTION In 1964,Greenblatt and others participated in thecheck-out phase of DigitalEquipment Corporation's new computer, the PDP-6. This machine had a number of innovative features that were thought to be ideal for the development of a list processing system, and thus it was very appropriate that thefirst working program actually run on thePDP-6 was anancestor of thecurrent MACLISP. This earlyLISP was patterned after the existing PDP-1 LISP (see reference l), and was produced by using the text editor and a mini-assembler on the PDP-1. That first PDP-6 finally found its way into M.I.T.'s ProjectMAC for use by theArtificial lntelligence group (the A.1. grouplater became the M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and Project MAC became the Laboratory for Computer Science). By 1968, the PDP-6 wasrunning the Incompatible Time-sharing system, and was soon supplanted by the PDP-IO.Today, the KL-I 0, anadvanced version of thePDP-10, supports a variety of time sharing systems, most of which are capable of running a MACLISP.
